hello, i was wondering ?? once the car (71 240z) is up tp running tempiture and i pull the rad.cap off should i be able to see the radiator fluid move ? mine sits stagnent should i not be able to see movment of the fluid inside the top of the radiator ..also the hoses are easy to squeeze or pinch together..now these are new top and bottom hoses but from a local auto store so maybe to cheap and i should get more durable ones?? the thermistat is new and i boiled it to check, its ok..and the car only gets on the hot side when im on the interstate for 10 miles or more, in town in stays in the middle of the gauge and does ok,,no leaking at the water pump as well...do i need a new water pump?? the radiator has been flush but i have not back flushed the engine. but the rad, fluid looks clean no debri.. thankyou michele
