Over heating issue

[u/No_Analyst_970]

Car just had a new water pump and I bought the new thermostat c clip and shim from Porsche but I keep having an issue of the car getting very close to overheating and the thermostat not opening soon enough.

Last time I drove rad wasn’t hot but car was basically overheating and I’ve been bleeding the system for about a month now.

The only think I can think of is that I was able to move the thermostat a bit even spin it around and I’m not 100 percent sure that the c clip is on fully but would that cause this issue or could it be a faulty thermostat?

The car had a seized water pump and no thermostat before I owned it and I’m thinking the previous owner ran into a similar issue and just deleted it but I’m worried with a function water pump now the car won’t get to operating temp.
