Yes sir she gets hot! radiator gets hot, top hose hot and bottom hose hot. Before I added a spring to the upper hose it would suck it flat for a few seconds. Rev the engine a few times and the pressure would return. Expansion tank has been cleaned and hose going to it is new. When the system is up to temp whether there is pressure in the upper hose or not, I can not feel any coolant flowing. I disconnected the upper hose waited for the stat to open and saw some movement. It came out into a bucket slowly. That's where I'm stuck. I don't know what the correct flow should look or feel like.
