Still waiting, and waiting, and....

I'll politely disagree with it being the most logical approach as doing so may mask a partially blocked radiator that may show more flow without the T/ Stat restriction.
In my experience over the last 50 or so years, if increasing the RPM to 2-3K shows no flow one needs to investigate why. other causes are mentioned above.
I will agree with you on the waiting part beer


His first post - “ didn’t change anything” - now it over heats. Why would one assume anything is blocked.

Logically - pull the stat and see if you have flow. If nothing, first order of business is check the pump.


In the same post he said I took the thermostat out to test (and it was in plenty of water in the thermostat housing), and it's opening at 180 when I test it in a pan of water.

Which is why i suggested increasing the RPM, However with a cold upper hose and a stat that tested OK, if the belts not slipping Likely the pump hub, shaft, or impeller.
We're wasting out time trying to help someone who's not responding so beer
