Bloody Virus

[brianm@zbt62.eastnet.gatech.edu (Brian McGarvey)]

there is another optio for the air in the cooling system.
I found this out during the hybrid swap.
I have two .. yes two rad caps.
It turns out that with the proper drilling of the t-stat and installation
of a westmoreland rabbit GTI hard water hose and an overflow obttle  for
an 8v. when you fill the radiator and car is on car ramps. all the air
bubbles right out.

so try this. put the car on a steep incline with the car nice an cool.
(put brick under tire cause we all know how well the e-brakes work.) pop
open the rad cap and fill. damn early 8v's had it.. Pop off upper rad hose
and rad cap.try it it might just work w/


my personal favorite.
get hose.
undo upper rad hose.
undo rad cap
stuff hose in upper rad.
have assistant turn on hose good and strong  :-)
wait itll water flowing thru heater core (cause the tstat is closed-go
turn that heat on) and out the rad. now remember the rad cap is off.
stick you other hand .. the one not holding the hose tight against the rad
hose. and try and fill the radiator. doing the quick removal of the hose
and mating the rad hose back to the rad....now you ask what about coolant.
well in GA. and aleaky system. I didnt worry about it :-)

After having a brain farts and finally checking the headers of the returned e-mails, none of the IP's in them belonged to me.  Looks like someone that has my address in their list did get it and the virus was trying to send itself out using my address as the "from".  I've checked my system as well as my whole home network and not a single virus found :)

Well I still haven't had a chance to do anything, but I picked up a new expansion tank cap and another thermostat today.  I'm going to drill holes in the thermostat as suggested and try many of the other suggestions sometime tomorrow I think.  Wish me luck, because I'm almost to the point of wanting to use the "ventolator" (S&W 357 sub-nose) on the damn car.  Ok, so I could never really do that, but the thought has crossed my mind a time or too in the last few days.
