ok, i took it out again for a test drive and this is what happend. the outside temp is 1 degree C just so u all know i took it out for about 20 mins and no .the rad did not get hot .. it was kinda hot one one side (driver side and cold on the other sounds odd.. i could be goin crazy ) .. the temp never got over the light bulb just over the bulb and little bit to the right .. when i cam back home . i i let it idle i check the rad thats when i discovered it was cold on one side and warm ish onthe other side (or cold all round not sure again i could be crazy ) but for sure the side with the bleeder on it was cold .. and the resoviour tank was over the max fill line. and the whole time i was driving the blower was blowing cold air any ideas ?
