Should have boiled it with a thermometer BEFORE I ordered a new one... it's an 82°C and opens slowly at 82.5°C fully open by 85°C
It turned out the coolant system was air locked with a bigazz bubble... I figured it out by dropping the rear end into a ditch, with the rad cap off I pinched a line shut to trap some pressure. When I let go, it let off an obnoxious loud snort/slurp and started flowing normally. Thankfully this thing has a little sight bubble filter thing so it's easy to tell if things are flowing or not.
Now that that's figured out I really need to drain it and put actual coolant in seeing as I diluted the hell out of it chasing myself in circles
