Make sure your heater hose are free of blockage the water must move thru them first.

Pull one heater hose loose from the core and fill the block through it. Then the thermostat will heat up and open. What you are getting is a common problem with LSX engines. No water behind the thermostat at first so it doesn't get hot and open.
