ok so i have a 93 civic ex with an h2b in it.

ok so my car keeps over heating. waterpump is fairly new so i know thats not the problem. same with the thermostat but just to check if it was faulty i took it out and im running it with out it.
still the same problem. lower radiator hose stays cold. my lower radiator hose is split into 2 pieces, the top piece that attaches to the upper coolant hole gets very hot, but the lower portion of the hose stays cold.
im stuck and dont know what to do now.

radiator worked perfect on the previous motor.

any help is apreciated.

 

radiator is bad

 

PROBLEM FIXED. just poured antifreeze in through the waterneck until it was full, put everything back togetther and everything flowed perfectly. NO OVERHEATING
