It doesnt want to start AT ALL while hot, i had to leave it about 30 min before it came under 100 temp according to the dash then it fired right up.

Need to work on the cooling system as it doesnt seem to be working right as it spits it out the overflow/filler tank and leaves it dry or close to, thermostat and water pump time?

Could be as simple as needing a new radiator cap

Some radiator caps don't fit. I put a new one on my new radiator and it bled into the overflow tank when hot. Mentioned this to Wooders and he said it was "because it wasn't one of his." Installed one of his and presto...all good.
