Ok, tstat here next to me.. Question...

Easiest way to install? I know pretty much, but anything I should be aware about?

Also, I'll be flushing out my rad and everything... Anything I should look for/do while that's happening?

Hm, one more thing, I'll be switching back to the green coolant - which one do I use? I forget what we had before... so .. good brand name to use?

I guess that's it for now....

Be aware of... uhmm.. this:
Aluminum is bloody easy to cross-thread... so be careful (don't ask how I know...)

...as far as coolant goes, I'd prolly say Prestone... but hey, I'm no expert....

50-50 mix of prestone.

do yourself and your motor a favor and spend another $10 and use bottled/distilled water as well, instead of tap water.
