Bleed valves on radiator?

RE:  Radiator bleed valves:

Be careful of what you wish for.  Bro's 90Q sedan has bleed valve atop 
the main radiator.  Gasket went away.  no can find replacement for silly 
sealing ring around brass into plastic radiator top.  Anyways, my kludge 
worked, but then showed a crack originating from the bleed valve hole.  
Several epoxy and sealing gasket iterations later, it seems to be holding.

Epoxy probably isn't the optimal fix, but it was available.  And, the 
radiators are not cheap.  BTW, the only time the radiator was serviced 
was by dealer mechs.

RE: Lightened flywheel thread

My local vendor has OEM lightened for ~$135 if you do not want to spend 
time machining stock.  If you don't want to bid on one from Ebay I can 
supply phone number or even go out to garage and weigh the  one awaiting 
installation....
