Steve- there is no machine shop involved with the current engine.
And, just to be fair, there are a lot of bad variables in the mix with his engine now & over the past four months. Making chicken stew out of chicken poo either way!Gusco-
here is the thermostat location. Did you remove the top radiator hose & thermostat housing to look down in this location? Somebody please correct me- but I don't think there is any thermostat inside the radiator.

Edit- I missed reading about the machine shop involvement- edit 2 I remember it now
