I've kept my cool (pun intended) but mentally am getting annoyed at that question.

Car is back in from its time out, and will be looked at tonight.

So did you look at it? I am sorry for bringing out the T-stat again. I am back to voting for a blocked coolant passage somewheres.

Ha, I don't get offended by that kind of stuff. Sometimes it's simple stuff like that.

Didn't really do much other than pull the hood off and steal the washer fluid pump.

Another E30?

The problem is that I wouldn't be all that surprised if that were the case.
Nope, that's not what it was. 

It was a pink bunny, just couldn't resist.

Pulled the thermostat to sanity check and it wouldn't get to temp. 
Put thermostat back in and it was running past 190 degrees after awhile, so it's certainly overheating. Not that this was news to me. 
Going to try a new expansion tank cap as it's the only thing that hasn't been replaced, and if that doesn't do the trick I'll probably just end up swapping motors. 

I did forget how much fun it was to drive.

Still got a eta with your name on it!

^this

I am tossing in the white flag on this engine. I have now replaced about everything and can only assume that when it froze something cracked and is not allowing the cooling system to function properly. 

Next update will be the motor being changed again.

Run a bottle of head gasket/cooling system stop leak for science
