I have a 95 F-150 with a 302 engine. My engine started running hot last year so I ended up changing the thermostat, radiator, water pump, temp sensor. It still ran hot. After changing the fan clutch and going to a 180 deg therm it now runs about 1/3 scale. I tried to put the OEM 192 back in during the cold spell and the truck ran at 3/4.The only thing I havent chaged is the bottom radiator hose. The upper hose was hot to the touch but the bottom hose was just barely warm. What should I look for to chech for a head gasket leak?

Usually on a head gasket leak there will be coolant in the crankcase. Did you replace radiator cap or did you check timing?

Mine was doing the same thing, replaced raditor.
