Re: Radiator question

If you only started it up for 10 minutes, then the thermostat has not opened to let the water circulate yet, as it is trying to reach optimal temperature. The VQ30de engine is a reverse flow cooled engine so this explains why one was hot yet the other was not. Feel again after 20 min or so.
