Default no coolant to radiator?

me and my friend have been trying to figure out why there is no coolant returning to the radiator. the top hose feels warm but the bottom hose feels like ice. there's no water going back into the radiator. we repalced the thermostate, water pump, temp. sensor. could it be a blown headgasket because the oil is kinda watery but the coolant seems to be clean.? could it be the radiator? someone please help.

i assume that you let it warm all the way up, and that you have the right thermostat. you could also test that your thermostat is not defective. Does the oil have coolant in it? The oil will turn to crud and F your engine up if that is the case and you run it like that. Keep an eye on your oil if you think you might have a bad head gasket.
