Cooling

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

Check lower rad hose for kinks. Flush it with some prestone rad flush stuff (let it get as hot as
reasonable with the stuff in). If anyone has thrown stop leak in it in the past it will collect in
cooling passages and gim things up (stop leak was not designed to go into our very hot running
roccos).
