The temperature was always going up to one hundred, l check the top gaskets, they were still good, l replaced the thermostat with the housing, as l found out the seal could not be replaced.
But the temperature is still going between ninety and ninety five, or max one hundred. it does not get to the red line.

It sounds like it might be a cooling fan problem or a problem with the radiator being plugged. Here is a guide that can help.
