Coolant and Radiator and Stat

[bigdaddycain]

4.5 for me... Went off once. (under very hard driving, loaded to the ginwalls, high ambient temps on a 2 mile ascent)

You've got me curious now Ste, coolant release nozzles? whassat then?
When I've done it, I've dropped the coolant from the rear heater hoses, big hoses both sides of the rad as well as opening up the rad drain & bleed hose, chemical flush & then flushing freshwater up through all the above mentioned points in both directions.
As I've said before with the coolant, if in doubt, especially on a new import, I'd drain it, chemical flush it, freshwater flush it & new stat as a minimum, which I think agrees with most of the above

And i couldn't help but add a little japanese translated text....

Find first cock of the radiator. We are not looking hard and not translation (it's not in the works), Oh, Arujan! In that, you pull out a loose cock . Still fine! Receivable hours -

The text above doesn't add to the context of this thread... I just found it rather humorous!

Ste. that's the drain cock you were referring to the other day...........Ah I understand now...not many people seem to know about that one....
