Well what I just did was I connected a garden hose to the heatercore outlet>t-stat housing hose then I connected a drain hose onto the heatercore outlet then I cranked the water wide open.. and it was running through the system just fine.. So I think you might be right..
When we put the engine in the car last week, we filled the cooling system using a new fangled pressurized system that uses compressed air to push the coolant into the system.... What I think might have happened is that using that pressurizing gizmo forced all the crud in the rad down to the bottom where it only left a small passage for coolant to get through...
Sound about right?.....

Jeepgirl, have you guys taken out the block plug? Its located on the front of the engine right next to the bracket for the catalytic converter? The reason I ask is that I needed to figure out why my dad's rex wasn't pumping enough fluid, come to find out, the PO put stopleak in the engine, and this bunged up everything, including the fact that it had set for almost a year with all that sediment blocking off the water pump from the block. My suggestion, take out the bolt plug, if you get a stream, you should be good. BUt didn't you guys already rebuild this 1.3?
