Re: rad help pt.2
The best way to check the thermostat is to remove it and simulate the conditions in water .boil the water to the temp it's rated to open at (thermostat).see if the wax pellet moves the spring.and also if you already changed the items make sure you bleed the system properly with the heat on .if that doesn't work . you might possilbly have a water pump issue.
