Re: radiator hoses
If the upper hose is swollen and looks like it may explode it could be a blown head gasket or cracked head allowing cylinder pressure into the cooling system. A bad thermostat will stop water from flowing through the upper hose at all.
On an engine that wipes a cam its not the metal you see that causes a problem its the metal that winds up embedded in the bearings.
