Default coolant not flowing

I have a 91' CRX Si w/ a ZC swap (which is running...SWEEET) and can burn out in both first and second. Unfortunately, that's all it can really do before it starts to get a tad toasty in the engine bay...

Coolant is going into the upper radiator hose and not the lower. The coolant doesn't flow either. Swapped out the thermostat and tried bleeding the system and we only got steam. Upper hose hot, lower hose cold. Anyone know whats wrong?

Yeah. Thats a clogged radiator for sure. Autozone has them for like $120 I think. Flushing may work but if its that clogged dont bother.

thats the thing -- its a brand new radiator...during the removal of the Si engine...we got kinda angry at the AC compressor and radiator so we just attached the chain fall and yanked it out.

anyhoo, long story short -- its a new radiator.
