Car runs great but gets dangerously hot when driving. Idles fine and does not get hot while idling. Cooling fans come on when they should. Flushed and backflushed heater core, engine, and radiator seperately and have found no blockages. Have tried removing thermostat and has made no difference. Have cleaned the fins on radiator and a/c condensor to make sure air can pass through. The radiator cap is at the highest point in the cooling system, so there is no bleeder for air. Have done a compression test and all cylinders show between 170 and 180 lbs. of compression. There are no signs of coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant. Also, there are no signs of coolant in the exhaust. When the car gets hot all coolant is pumped into the overflow reservoir until the reservoir also overflows. Radiator cap is also new. I'm usually the guy answering questions but this one has got me whipped!
