HEHE gotta love spring.. time for .... "Radiator and Cooling system 101"

1) if your car heats up sitting on a corner street idling, your thermostat is
partly stuvk open or stuck closed, change it
2) while your at it, change the 3 hoses (upper/lower rad and lower water pump)
3) my oil gague on my 8v was sitting on 120'c for the longest time, right up
to the point where I changed the 2 hoses from the oil cooler, now it run
80-110'c
