What kinda condition is the radiator in? Is it plugged up at all? Have a severe case of fin rot? How's the coolant?

It sometimes takes a while to get the engine to give up its air bubbles. It has taken me up to a week to get the cooling system full. BUT, do check that radiator; when the car is warm and running, *carefully* run your hand from top to bottom of the radiator core, feeling for temperature differences.
