No flow of water in new LS3

So the question is how long to I let it run at that temp before shutting it down. I have filled the radiator a few times to the top so it is going into the block some any way. The heater hoses are warm. So there may be air in the system thus the higher temp reading on the gauge? Thanks

Can you incline the nose of the car? This will force bubbles to the highest point. Do that, pull the radiator cap and let it run. Warm heater hoses tells me the pump is working.

I concur and will try that tonight or tomorrow. Thanks

210 isn't hot. Let it run.

It blows through 210 so that's why I shut it down. I am thinking it an air pocket

Its not elevated enough but the upper hose is getting warm, bottom hose still cold but the water in the radiator is warming up as well. Very frustrating

tried elevation and also ran with heat on, heater hoses warm, lower hose cold, upper is warm, temp past 210 shut off. I think I will pull the thermo stat and test it.
