Well the bottom hose is not supposed to get hot, the radiator is supposed to cool off the coolant, so maybe it will be warmish. Really hot or stays cold would be problems. Used radiator from a car that had the head off, hmmm, maybe a bad radiator blew the headgasket or cracked the head on that

No, flow is out from the top hose (from the head) into the top of the radiator, then out from bottom of radiator into the thermostat and then water pump. Jun 7, 2020 4:43:16 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes : > No, I did not turn on the heat before I started filling. The thermostat was >

Bad fan clutch for starters. If you had a cracked head or blown head gasket you would probably have oil in the reservoir by now. Easy to test the visco clutch -- when it's hot, have someone shut the engine off while you watch the fan. If it doesn't stop within a rotation or two, it's out of
