92 240 aw70, Nissen's all metal 3 core radiator
After recently replacing thermostat and flushing Nissen's the heat situation has scarcely improved. Wondering if the heater core is the culprit ?
A) Last summer installed new Gates pump, no leaks, works fine
B) Recent installed "Wahler"(parts store clerk claims) 91c thrmstt, has correct bleed valve but no markings of any kind
C) Old thrmstt was 87c
D) Checked hose temps on each side of temp control valve & both hot
E) Control valve looks corroded a bit
F) Slow warm up, when below 15f
G) Squeezed large rad hoses for trapped air to no effect
G) Yes, coolant is topped off, yes bleed valve is up
Theories ? * link to show "similar" thrmstt
