(some lights in dash do not turn on) Just asking for some help lol. Anything is appreciated Mahalo!
One assumption some make when encountering an overheating engine is the sender is operating accurately. I'd change it out 1st. There's a chance it has 2 sensors. One for a gauge, the other for a dash light. I'm not 100% sure. Regardless, they may not be registering correctly. Be sure also you don't have an air pocket around the sensor.
The presence of bubbles (combustion gasses) in the radiator while running may indicate a cracked head or bad head gasket. Milky oil, Compression test, etc may show something.
Others may chime in with some simple troubleshooting suggestions.
