Is the thermostat stuck closed? It"s supposwed to be in the upper rad hose. Have you removed the goosneck from the head and seen if the head outlet or the head itself is plugged?

| Reread my 1st post. I removed the tstat to find no circulation. The head is plugged. I have the goose neck removed and filled the head. The liquid is sitting to the rim of the head. It does not flow down to the water pump. Is there anything I can use to clean the head without removing it?

| What"s plugging the head? Is it lime deposits? If so, I wonder if taking it to a machine shop and having it hot tanked will clean it up? Are you sure it"s just the head?

| | I assume it's rust. Could be anything. The system has been closed so don't suspect mice or other critters. When I drained it to remove the radiator the water was very rusty. With the w/p removed the block drains thru the opening created and the block drain works. As I said, I'm trying to do this w/o removing the head. I don't want to get into the valve train. It'll have to be removed to tank it. Don't want to open a can of worms unless it's necessary. DON TX

| Have you tried blowing air thru the passages? I know it will make a mess and blow water and rust all over you but it doesnt sound like you have too many options left besides removing the head.

| | You may not have a choice if it"s that blocked up. There"s not a lot of skinny passages in the head that I recall so I can"t imagine it"s just rust. Maybe someone put muddy water in there in an emergency. I"d try a good radiator flush(Prestone Flush?). Any way you can hook a hose fitting to the block drain and back flush it?
