Thanks Andy. It didn't appear to have too much restriction, but I figured that if I only had a few channels open that I may still have good flow, but not enough surface area to create good heat.

The only other item I could think of would be that maybe the core is being pressurized on both sides with a wrong connection.

Here are my connections. First photo is a 5/8" hose going from the intake to the bottom of the heater core. The second photo is a 3/4" hose traveling from the top of the heater core to the water pump. Is that the correct connection on the water pump?
