...my thermostat to stop working after i fixed my heater core. i was getting no heat, so i pulled the heater core and flushed it. i get heat now, but the thermostat doesnt open. the motor gradually gets hotter and hotter till it would overheat if i kept driving it. i am pretty confused here. any ideas?

Could be coincidence, It could have froze up sometime around while you fixin the core, take it out and see.....

Make sure you have all the air bubbles out of the system and top off the coolant level. Sometimes takes little effort to get all the air out.
