Opened the hood and getting some coolant from the reservoir area and when I opened the bleed screw and steam was coming out. Uh oh.

Here’s the deal:

Running with no spinning fan or shroud attached.
Temp- as high as 121 degrees C engine coolant temp, on 65 degrees C radiator outlet temp. Upper radiator hose hot and tight, lower hose not hot but tight.

Must be radiator or something clogged?

Yesterday I did about half as far, temps were good, hoses both hot and full. What broke?
