Did some testing today and a backflush of the system. The gauge reading is correct. The head got hot almost within a minute. While backflushing the head still got hot. I am thinking I need to pull the distribution tube. When I took the upper hose off the radiator and started the engine the fluid shot out in a stream that is why I thought it may be the radiator and not the water pump. I still think I'm missing something. I will go over Tim's list again and review. All items get hot just like normal except I think the head is too hot and gets there very fast. How hot should the head be while running for 2 to 3 minutes? The head seems equally hot across all eight.
