Great! I'm very happy that you got it under control!

What do you do next? Re-torque the intake/head/exhaust bolts. After that: Wash and wax it.

Contrary to popular belief, coolant is not your engines friend. After about 1000 miles, or two months, which ever comes first, change the oil and filter again, and flush the cooling system and refill with 40% coolant/anti-freeze - 60% water, for the winter. Next spring, flush it again and refill with straight water for the summer.

If you run into any trouble, or have other questions, feel free to email me at pkrwuds@pacbell.net

Now just enjoy!!!

Take care

P.S. If you end up with any old or used coolant, save it. It's one of the best rubber conditioners there is! Applied regularly to tires, it leaves that clean, new tire look, which I prefer Armor-all. Tires are supposed to look like tires, not glazed donuts.
