    second opinion

    I havent driven my silvy for two days,and i was washing it. Poped the hood and started to check everything out. I squeezed the radiator hose,and it has pressure.Devin told me it suppose to have pressure at all time.Cold or hot. I thought it wasnt suppose to have pressure when its cold. So which is it?

    If it over heats worry about it. Other wise forget it.

    take the belt off, spin the water pump, make sure you dont have bearing drag, if it doesnt then check the thermosstat. mine would be fine when driving but once i sit for a few minutes it would get too hot, come to find out the bearings were going out in the pump.

    Aftermarket waterpumps seem to never ever be as good as factory pumps. Pump, thermostat, radiator. Gotta start somewhere. I'd go with thermostat if'n I was you.
