The aspirin will dissolve and allow proper operation - and your cooling system will never have a headache! AL Didn't I say that, well maybe I mispelled Aspirin and that threw you off, yeah that's it TB "Seems like our society is more interested in turning each successive generation into cookie-cutter wankers than anything else." -- Jato 8/24/2004

After I changed my t-stat I noticed lots of air bubbles coming up through coolant in expansion tank so I sorta figured this. So everyone hear this? THERE IS NO NEED TO DRILL HOLES OR STINT THE T-STAT OPEN ON OUR CARS. Good news to me. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15
