ok today i found out a lot about my engine,the old 7afe had around 210,xxx on it and the cooling system failed and the engine got fried.The cause was a little piece of wood that was blocking a T on the overflow of the radiator,the T had the bottom going into the overflow,the left side going to the hose tot eh radiator and the right side was blocked with a piece of wood,now my dad took out the piece of wood the engine would over heated,but then we got the factory L part but the engine overheated again.Now this is a different radiator than the stock one.The engine runs perfectly fine with the lil piece of wood in it..WTF,any ideas?

from the arrows it looks like you're blocking the overflow with the bit of wood, if holding the pressure in the system fixes it then that means that the rad cap isnt holding the pressure like it should be. try a new cap, its cheap.
