1985 Buick Century mileage: 205,000. I have problems with the radiator hoses collapsing.... especially after shutting the car off. New radiator, heater core, thermostat, hoses, and cap. Also, have got all the air out...no head gasket problems either?

Your collapsing radiator hose problem is probably caused by a faulty or the wrong type of radiator cap. On the correct radiator cap, a small valve opens up when the engine cools down to prevent the radiator hose from collapsing.
