Chris, You sure your not suffering from some form of colour blindness?
I understand Red/Green colour blindness is hereditary but I know nossing about Yellow/Green colour blindness.


Take care champ.


PS: Missed that shelby shifter you had on evil-bay some time ago.
Where did you get it? and where can I get another?

Thanks

I noticed you live in B'ham. I live in the northwest corner of Alabama in Florence.
You don't need a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze. I'm sure you keep the Cobra inside during sub zero weather. You need about 25% antifreeze and 75% distilled water. This mix will help with overheating and you have enough antifreeze to lubricate the motor.

There are coolants that change colour from overheating and/or age.

On a new engine the coolant could change from any contaminant that was used during the engine assembly and cooling system fitout.

I would flush it out well, remix your coolant in the specified ratio, refill and bleed the system.

Then keep an eye on it.

haha, no, im not color blind.

Really, it was just the background color making a difference. As soon as the coolant left the bright white bucket and was in mid air or entering the aluminum reservoir, it appeared neon green again and not neon yellow.

A mechanic friend said not to buy the red crap, as it eats aluminum.
