Watch out for kinks man... thats a massive one on the rad(outlet), and it looks like you have two more about to form ( inlet of rad, and block to tline portion).
I want to say "Word." here, but it would be a violation of the Un-cool vibe I'm trying to give off.

LoL feces water feces water
Anyways... did you "flush" the system by how you have it setup for your "virgin run?" if so thats not gonna help much.
Take out your pump (or not as you probably wanna clean it now) and plug one end of your tubbing up to a faucet (squeeze the tubbing over the faucet or just hold it there and make a mess like I do
) and let it drain into the sink. Do it for a few min and switch the direction a few times.older HC's can come with some nasty **** in their.

seriously clockless. If you have so much gunk in there, you may not be able to get all of it off (since they may build up a layer on the hc water tubes) and it will affect your performance since heat can't dissipate very well. I know you are trying to save money but my advice would be to swallow the $11 loss and spend $20 more at the local autozone to get a brand new hc that you know will give you good performance. Got my fedco 2-302 for like $17.99 + tax. Only mod I did was use a hacksaw and cut maybe about 1"-1.5" from where the tubes insert into the tanks and you are set for install.
yeah it got kinda messy cause i decided not to use t-line or res so i had to connect gpu block underwater in the gallon jug. that was not the worst, when i had my pump connect to my old crappy psu it fell of the sink about 3 feet. i dusted it off and it still works to this day for testing stuff.

maybe you should use some cleaner like alcohol or something a little more harsh. People have talked about using stuff like CLR in their loop for a small period of time.

Gah you guys are messy
If you have gunk in your system, hook it up to a garden hose to blast it all out, then rinse it out with pure water/distilled water. Problem solved.
And BTW, avoid clearflex when you can. It almost always clouds up, and reacts with nearly anything. Tygon rocks.
