hey guis i calculated the volume of the main and is about 1.142 ,on the previous post i have said that on that main i have fuor radiators 2 are getting hot and two are not i'm going to post pic of the vent ,that is place on the return when it drops ,i did take the vent off i blow through it and air goes through i blow on it fast and the boll came up i would assume the vent is good .i take the vent off for one cycle and no change the 2 radiator are still cold ,i did change the vent on the radiators with the biggest vent that there is and no change ,i notice when there is a long cycle they do get hot ,so i think my only option is to put a thermostat on the cold room. any other suggestion? thanks in advance .JOE

    the rest of the house is venting too quickly?
