      heater core is like 50 bucks, but its 6 hours or something to do the job. I've done it twice on my car. It blows, but its not actually that hard.

          It turns out it was a heater core hose, not the core itself.

          Apparently my radiator is severely blocked, so in about a month I'm gonna do a combination of timing chain, water pump and radiator replacement.

          On a side note, my gauges were installed. Apparently my engine has 0 psi in it. ._.

              and is the sensor and gauge connected properly?

                On mine I can't get a radiator cap that will not leak instead of putting it in the overflow. When I shut the car off, I'll get a small drip out the cap.

                  non-original radiator? Quite likely the dimensions inside the fill neck aren't quite right and the cap won't seal as a result.

                    Turns out the oil pressure gauge isn't connected. Which makes sense considering the engine still runs fine.
