Yeah, I've always heard the same thing - and that's what it will get once I get past this coolant exiting glitch.

On that note - the coolant was about 1/2" below the top of the upper tank when we started the motor, but I had the cap on during that cycle, and - grasping at straws(?) didn't wait to see if the coolant was flowing first.

Hoping this thing just belched and that POS cap with the silly gauge couldn't take it. I plan on putting the stock cap back on - next run.

Mac.
