Pat's at it again
ERA Chas I figured that you would have told Pat that it takes 2 gallons of coolant and 2 gallons of distilled water and about 15-20 minutes to complete this problem. The mixture will be about 95% new and not have the heavy stuff in the block floating around to clog other parts. As far as ways to do this,
IF you have a SOLID camshaft and can idle the motor for 10 minutes we have a in line exchange machine that hooks to the upper hose. Emptys on one side and fills on the other side. When done, top off.
Other way is a vacuum setup that suck out about 80% on the coolant and refills itself with the vacuum. This is good also for checking for leaks in the motor too.
My last thought was adding petcocks to the back of the intake manifold on both sides and using them to remove any air pockets. Bleed offs.
Not sure but a min of 4 gallons of coolant plus 8 gallons to get rid of sound like alot of work. The only plus is the drive for 8 times.
Small side note, it's a long season and we know how the Mets fell into the playoff last year? or was it the years before?? Rick L.
