Re: cooling problem

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

If the car has AC and the original upper radiator hose then the little 
orifice at the end of the little hose where it meets the coolant bottle 
might have some shit in it. I had this problem once witha  customers car. I 
cut the orifice out and put the hose back on and havent had any problems 
after that. A good way to check this without taking the hose off is to run 
the car and look in the coolant bottle and see if there is a little stream 
squirting coolant out of the small hose fitting at the top of the bottle. GL
