Just replaced radiator, need help........ 200 87

posted by  someone claiming to be Ryan Bennett on  Thu Oct 4 10:11 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello all-

I just replaced my OEM radiator with a new Nissens and all went well except that I don't think the thermostat is functioning correctly. I took it for a spin around the block with the heater valve all the way up, and when inspecting the hoses after that, the top hose was much hotter than the lower. I'm guessing that the thermostat is stuck shut. In the FAQ, it says that a venting nipple needs to be pointed upward. Could this cause the problem I'm having. I just had the thermostat replaced less than a year ago and has worked fine until now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
