I've had a couple so please excuse me if I'm difficult to understand. The temp seems the same on the two hoses -really frickin' hot. I'll double check to see if they're different kinds of "frickin' hot". I know that thermostat test trick, I just want to make sure I only do that if I really need to since taking the thermostat out = mess. I ran it for a while today with no cap and with the front jacked up, but the way the engine currently idles makes a bunch of coolant spew out the top as though there were bubbles coming out, but I'm pretty sure there are no bubbles anymore.

My head gasket could very well be bad from making ghetto hole enlargements with a razor blade, but those holes aren't very big or close to each other, so I think the head gasket is pretty fine.

I'm going to look into letting the excess coolant spew out the top of the rad, then dispose/reuse it properly until it can't make it anymore
