Sounds like it's air bound,air in the circuit will cause water flow problems like lack of heat in the highest area of the dwelling.

Un sweat the fittings and reverse the water flow?I wouldn't recomend this,most systems are created & designed to run a certian way.

You are positive that you have forced hot h2o.What I mean is you have bbh but do you also have a Hydro pack in the attic which produces forced hot air through a hot water coil located in the air handler,hot water is delivered to this coil from Pex tubing or (copper but pex in your case)& fed from the boiler.
