Reply to "radiator cold engine hot - thermostat?"

Thanks Richard,

I've got a Fluidyne radiator and it has the bleader petcock on the top left. I did blead it until coolant came out. My plan for tonight is to take out the thermostat and run it without it in and see if it takes more coolant. I'm sure taht I dont have to worry about head gaskets being in backwards I have done that in the way past and made sure they were facing the front, I even took pictures. It just seems like there is no coolant between the engine and the radiator. The comment by ROVERLTD is a thought, that's also why I want to run it without the thermostat, need to see if coolant is moving. My fans are sucker fans, 1 with the ignition on and the other by thermostat or switch if i think it's getting too hot, these are reley controlled and they are working.
