Overheating...was it radiator sealer?

Well, feel the upper radaitor hose when car is cold. It should be soft and cool. Run car to operating temp and feel upper hose. It should be hot to the touch and almost rock hard from the pressurized fluid. If the hose is hard then your thermostat is opening, if it stays soft, your t-stat is not opening. idle the car and look at the temo gauge, it should reach about 190 then drop when the t-stat is opened. if u sit there for 10-15 min, u should see it drop, then rise slowly again, then drop, etc.

i think u clogged your radiator. try and use a good quality flush. i would not overrun the car w/ the flush, u might do more damage then good. use max flush but follow the directions and flush out with water a couple times after to clean out the flush and gunk.
