Roger that, I understand now. Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it.

The return hose to the radiator comes from the thermostat housing.

I used this and it worked well:

Okay so for troubleshooting purposes, I am going to install this commercial grade flow meter on the top radiator hose and run it to verify the water pump is pushing water properly.

I then plan to remove that hose and keep it for troubleshooting and install a second hose with the secondary thermostat installed and run that into the cabin where I can verify exact temperature coming out of the thermostat into the radiator.

I think once I do both of these things it will tell me everything I need to know and if there is still an issue and everything works fine. I guess it either has to be a head gasket failure or something blocked up in the cylinder wall somewhere????

I'll post again once I get everything done and installed. It's going to be a week or two before I get the parts but I'll be back

I ordered these parts months ago, still not received nor has the company returned any of my emails
Are they out of business, I feel scammed

Did you ever receive that? I’m wondering if there is another place to get them….
