Brass restrictor plate missing, wrong thermostat installed, low coolant level and/or air pocket in the system

some/all these conspire to recirculate Hot coolant through the engine but not be able to send any to the radiator

first check is to make sure the Brass plate is in place under the T-stat, and the T-tat is the correct type with the 'bell' on the bottom of the temp sensor doo-dad

can you post up pics?
