Hello Guys
Just rebuilt my 440 for a GTX, had the radiator sent to Glenn Ray Radiators to be restored. Been trying to d-bug the motor since Fathers Day and noticed that the radiator hoses are collapsing after running the motor for around 10 mins. The first time I noticed both hoses collapsed shut the motor off opened the radiator cap and the hoses opened back up. Last two times I have ran the motor just the top hose is collapsing. This evening I was told to put the car on a hill take off the radiator cap and run it for around 5 mins with the cap off to make sure all the air was out. Did that ran the car for around 10 mins got back home checked it and the top hose was collapsed again.
Any idea what could be causing this? The temperature gauge seems to be reading find when running.
Thanks In Advance for the Help
