So I’ve replaced the water pump, thermostat, radiator and fans on my 17 charger rt, worked fine for a month or two but now have the same problem over overheating while the car sits at a red light or comes to any stop, not sure what could be causing the problem. I have a comp cam , headers , TB, cai, 180 thermo and tune from jay Greene. Don’t notice any leaks under the engine but where the intake manifold and heads meet there’s small brown and yellow build up on two sides. If anyone has had this problem or know anything that can be causing this? Don’t want to take to dealer yet if it’s a small issue. Normal coolant temp sits at 185 running but sitting slowly goes past 220+, will come back to normal driving.

Bleed the coolant and make sure there are no bubbles in the system. What kind of thermostat did they use? First time I replaced the stock with an aftermarket Tstat I got a defective one. Like said, 220-230 is nothing to worry about but if it is cause for concern or gets worst I would check those two things.
