Whats all this rattle on about cap pressure, overflo reservoir, head gasket, trapped air, when the top hose collapses, there is no flow or very little thru the t'stat. His bottom hose is COLD when the engine is hot, water pump, pumps the coolant from the heads down thru the radiator, out the bottom thru the lower hose and oil cooler. Something is wrong with the lower rad hose or inlet to engine. There is no flow there. Only circulation he has is, is thru the heater core. He just put in a new radiator, could it be the rad is defective, no flow thru it somehow?
Note: when the t'stat expands/opens, the copper slug closes off the bypass flow.
Edit: The flow thru the heater is from the pump back into the block, or vise versa, can't remember which.
That's what he's saying.
