Was the thermostat correctly assembled?
Did you replace the thermostat housing?
Did you replace the degas bottle?
 
Yeah i followed the procedures for bleeding.. Im gunna replace the degas bottle anyways. The fact that the lower radiator hose is not gettin hot is making me think i person i bought it off installed the thermostat incorrctly.
 
or the parts that hold the thermostat in have crumbled while reassembling and have jammed the Tstat in there. I've seen this one first hand.
 
koo. i work at midas so ill be working on it today during work. thanks for the headds up!
