I just just replaced my radiator, thermostat housing, both ECT sensors, and thermostat, which all had some leaks.
After putting it all back together, I filled the new radiator up with slightly more than 1 gallon of coolant, which I was expecting at least 2. I left the cap off to let it breath a little while running the engine. It spewed on me (fun clean up), but the level didn't go down. So I capped it off.
After running the engine to temp, I got out to check on everything and noticed that both my upper and lower radiator hoses were collapsed. This is not a problem that I had before the new radiator.
Would this just be from air not working it's way out? Or have I done something wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
