When the engine is cold, the thermostat will be closed and no coolant will be going to the radiator. A radiator blockage should therefore not matter nor be the cause of this problem. I'm afraid that one of the heads is not sealing where it meets the cylinder. Possibly a foreign object came between the head and cylinder before it was torqued. Since it happens as soon as the engine is started, it may be possible to find it with a leakdown test. Mark Stuart wrote: > > Chris, > > Did they flow test the radiator?
