Should the flow be coming out of the top of the radiator or the bottom?

Really appreciate it. Flushing the radiator by itself and trying a few of your suggestions. I'll let you know how it works out. Really hoping it's an easy fix

If I put the water pump back in it and I feed the lower radiator hose with a garden hose with engine running it should push the water out of the intake port where the thermostat sits like a fountain?

Hey Mark got everything possible flushed then put back together. Drove it to work this morning and had to stop at the store and let it cool for 30 minutes. Still getting hotter than its supposed to. Even took it for a test drive around drove for awhile last night got back in and was running fine
