I tend to agree

Not knowing its history thought maybe a mouse nest was in block

Flushed block radiator heater core

Block flowed decently

Rad flowed decently but it sure looks crusty on cores

80 psi pressure check on each cylinder

No air into coolant so thinking head and gasket ok

Installed 4 lb cap it went longer before it boiled with 160 thermostat

Had bled air out of system by pulling heater hose at location under thermostat

Temp read lower about 160 than with old thermostat

Should have done earlier but checked heat where temp gauge goes into block over 200F when it boiled

Sooo thinking water pump or radiator

I’ll start with pump since it’s cheaper unless someone wiser thinks differently
