Civic EG

Well I just put a new jdm engine in to my car last week and i have been over heating every time I put a thermostat in to the car. and with out it in the car it still runs a lil hot, at about 1/4 of the way.

So when the thermostat is in the car ( its an brand new thermostat and i have tryed other new ones also) the car will drive for about 2 block and got to over the H. But when I get out of the car and feel the radiator, the top is super hot and the bottom is cold, and if i feel the bottom hose it is cold and fells like there is no water in it, its all soft.

I have a ebay aluminum radiator btw.

As for the engine, It have been cleaned inside and out and have all new seals and gaskets every where and It has a new water pump.


So anyone know what this could be?

Here is a picture of my engine bay for all you people that like pictures =P

I think your radiator might of taken a giant poopoo on you.
