Radiators in got it idling now all the air is purged… Just waiting for the thermostat to open and then top it off and take it for a drive!

Got a little too excited… Started overheating not sure why. I filled it out to the full one cold line before starting it there’s no leaks, it was going good. It got up to operating temperature than the fans kicked on, and I came back to look at the temp gauge once more and it was overheating.

Were both of the radiator hoses hot to the touch or was one noticeably cooler then the other?

I just checked the top hose. It was hot maybe not the one that is on the passenger side bottom. Think I tried to squeeze it a few times. The one I drained the coolant from
