No, got halfway through & realized I didn't have a gasket to seal it off. Picked up so gasket material so I can make a temporary one & will try again this weekend.

doing the flow test would help give you an idea of flow capacity without the thermostat
normal to have no coolant flow through rad until thermostat opens
do you have a heater or are you running a bypass loop at the water pump end so there is coolant flow through the block when the thermostat is closed? this helps reduce hot spots around cylinder heads and steam production when the thermostat is closed.
No sharp edges or weird angles, everything flows pretty straight. I am running a heater. I do have a bypass hose that I'm going to hook up when I remove the stat this weekend to check flow as mentioned above by HCB 3200.
