ok heres the latest part..............head/gasket changed,new plugs,new leads,new stat(before 1st attempt),

everything was flushed to check flows...all good......

its back together and running quite well but.......top rad hose is red hot,bottome one is cold....coolant in tank is not bubbleing up or boiling......

the bottom pipe is cold but so is top part of rad......untill i undo top bleed valve then bottom hose is warm is it should be.....

can some one maybe tell me at which point i should try get air out?...im thinking remove small hose from top of rad after a good run? hot air rises etc...or am i clutching at straws?

thanks

bottom hose wont get hot unless your engine overheats its winter so normal. whats your temp gauge telling you ??????

If you mean air is sloshing about? It needs bleeding.

well its not overheating then as i said bottom hose only gets hot when the stat opens ie overheats as it minus 3 it wont open so no hot bottom rad.

if you here sloshing bleed it
