Recently had the HG's go bad on my 98 Liberty (with 96 JDM EJ25D), after the car overheated and had to be towed back up a mountain pass.

Back on the road after many hours, a few minor heat issues to be resolved by bleeding the system.

Good job. Check and make sure your fan comes on. I just wire mine with a relay to be on all the time since my fan won't turn on (relay/fuse is good and new sensor). I'll be putting on a fan switch next week for a trigger wire so it won't be on all the time.

Fans are working fine, ended up just having to do a proper bleed of the system and then fill up all the air holes, stayed cool for a 150km+ trip today so hopefully it stays like that
