HEY all

I have another question about my 87 vanagon. I got a
different engine installed after a head cracked on my
old motor and its been doing GREAT..up til today...so
weird how things just pop up out of the blue, I drive
it to work just like i have for several weeks and this
morning just before i got to work the temp needle
pegged HOT and the oil buzzer and light came on and
when i got to work man steam was everywhere....but my
coolant light never did come on.......it has before so
i know it works.
so i check the oil and i have to admit it was a little
low.....drove it back home and low and behold its
still hot as hell and on comes the oil light and
buzzer.......I got a bosch filter on it......Oh and on
the way home the heater never did get warm......which
was strange....it was fine the night before.
i was thinking thermostate....but can that affect the
oil temp and such????
also is that a coolant line that runs around the top
inside of the engine compartment?
Thanks
