I just installed a new head and head gasket etc because I had a cracked cylinder head etc. I definitely would not let them pull the head because the water flow from the rad to the expansion tank was trickling. Hopefully on Monday I can get more work done on it.

It sounds to me like the system was poorly bled, or the rad has deposits and/or corrosion at the top, or both.
