Hi guys,
Last job before winter to overhaul my cooling system. Fitted new radiator, coolant pump, thermostat, new hoses, removed cabin heater water valve, flushed system and installed Evans cool 180' waterless coolant.
Engine sounds a little quieter with new water pump. Car now back in its box for winter.

Re: Cooling system overhaul
Gates (the hose folks) have an interesting air-assisted flush system for removing rust and scale that simple chemical flushes don't get. Their argument is that those floating grains erode the waterpump seals leading to failure. I think they said it was a $900 item at retail. Ouch!
