Frank,
I could be wrong here, but Ithink
that is normal if you didn't give the engine time to warm up to allow the
coolant to cycle. The thermostat senses the level of heat passing throught the
coolant system, and when the coolant gets hot enough, the thermostat will open
so the coolant will circulate through the system, i.e. radiator, which in turn
cools the engine. So, if the coolant temperature didn't get hot enough for the
thermostat to open, the coolant wouldn't circulate, and one side of the coolant
system would remain cold. All hoses will warm up when the temperature of the
coolant reaches the level for the thermostat to open, becuase the coolant will
then circulate fully through the system. Am I wrong here? DMC JOE?
If this sounds mildly confusing, I
appologize... I have a headache... :oP.
