    radiator problem

    when i was rebuilding my head i figured i would get my radiator flushed. i finished rebuilding my head and i installed everything and i was finished about two weeks ago. when i took it for a test drive it was running really hot (almost at the 3/4 mark). after about 2 days it started to not even warm up to the 1/2 mark. now i can drive it and it wont even heat up to the 1/2 mark on the temp gauge. i was thinking that my thermostat could be stuck open but i just rplaced it about 5 thousand miles ago. i have an M10 and i dont know what the normal operating temp would be but im assuming at the 1/2 mark righ? is it normal to have an M10 running at th 1/4 mark? thnks.

    I've got the same story
    My car (M10) ran 1/2 before i flushed the radiator
    Since the flush it runs between 1/4 and 1/2 with the heater on cold and on the 1/4th mark with the heater on :roll:
