Some good stuff in here for future reference.

 

Been busy like crazy for the past week working, but a few people told me that it may be my t-stat, my lower radiator hose is noticeably cooler than my upper hose (burning hot). Which still wouldn't explain why the bar's leak stuff stopped my overheating.

 

lol yea, now it just comes down to me seeing if it's really a BHG or not. Still never flushed my rad . Will do when I get a chance asap.
