Do you have a radiator pressure pump? It goes on the radiator where the radiator cap goes. Pressurize it and see if it leaks down

Most of the national cars parts dealers (NAPA, AutoZone, etc) will loan one.

Easy way to check for compression entering the cooling system is drop the end of the overflow hose in a cup of water with the engine idling. You'll see a constant trail of bubbles coming from the hose end.
You don't have to borrow any pressure tester, and you'll find out almost instantly. |
