Wow... talk about run-on sentence structure. Are you sure that there is no blockages in your radiator or hoses? Also, your themostat could be malfunctioning as well.

haha yeah i know sorry abot the run on was just letting my mind speak for itself and im pretty sure theres no blockages and thermostat problem
1. i took the thermostat to see if it runs better but it doesn't it still heats up fast like in 15-20 mins of driving and 2. i had the radiator fished out so im stumped i gotta sell it, it's giving me grey hair lol

Why would you put block weld in your car? Did you have a bad water seal?

He said he took it to a Mazda mechanic and they in turn said that one of his coolant seals were going. That is why he did the block weld.

You need to degrease the engine...not the rad. The block weld in this process has nothing to do with the water seals.
