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 ?
