Well so much for that. I ran the motor...(it sounded nice) for about 12 minutes and the temp started to rise. I waited until some hot antifreeze started coming in the radiator. I started feeling around and notice the radiator wasn't hot, then the return wasn't hot.... WTH??? Pulled the bottom hose and ice cold water. I would think it would have circulated faster. The temp gauge was over the half way mark at this point.
So I decided to pull the water pump...First the alternator, then I decided to pull the radiator to make it easier.. The 2 bottom bolts have this nifty pin just in the case the bolt works loose. There is a rubber bushing at the bottom. The top is held on by the upper hose only. In the mean time the radiator looked decent.
