overheating..SOLUTIONS TO THIS P.I.T.A. COOLING SYSTEM FILLER??

[tim at unrealexpectations.ath.cx (stetson)]

I drilled mine during my last radiator debacle. One hole I think @ 5/32nds
or so and now engine temp touches the LED but does not cover it as it once
did.
I have to wait for this summer to know what impact it really has, but temp
seems to be fine and the heater still works well.

What I want to find out is -- do parrots know much about Astro-Turf?
