Just saw your post about having antifreeze in the vehicle. How long was the antifreeze in before cleaning everything out?
I have a Mercedes 230SL that had been sitting for over 15 years before I got a hold of it. The antifreeze had turned to acid and ate holes into the thermostat and water pump housings.
If that antifreeze has been in there for a real long time, possibly, your cooling system is all plugged up from corrosion.
