Default 40 min radiator replacement

for those that are aprehensive about replacing a radiator it is very straight forward. And i've never done one before. 17 bolts. 2 hose clamps. 2 trans lines. 1 temp sensor. Advanced Auto sold me one that literally was a direct bolt in! (no modification what so ever, which i find awesome cause nothing is ever a drirect bolt in) hopefully that solves my over heating issue since i replaced that and the pressureized over flow bottle. I think i burped the system pretty well but when i was driving around on a test the temp would run up to 210 (normal) then drop back to high hundreds and gradually climb back to 210, then drop again.

Whats that rise an fall all about (not the electric fan as i have that on toggle) any ideas wise ones

Thanks CF

rise and fall is the thermostat opening reducing the engine temp, then closes when it gets below a certain temp
