You need to replace the complete water pump and thermostats and replace thermostats with the new stainless ones.you should have 5-7 psi at idle and 12-15 running. You motor should not reach over 150 degrees. If so there is a problem and do not run it. the alarm i think goes off at 215-220.you also need to replace the poppet valve system. It is located at bottom of motor behind the power packs. Kinda a figure 8 looking cover. E-mail me if you have any questions or need a good price on parts.
