I defined a great Coolant Filling technique which has eliminated the fear of Water Pump Air Locking after a Coolant Refill.
Are you uncertain of TB Icing? Just am interested in your opinion leading to your modifications.

What's up Cliff...
If [when] I pull the plenum again, I don't relish the idea of coolant getting all over cleaned parts. Mike100 said it gets dirty under there, but I do more cleaning / tuning, than driving (they called my '94 a 'garage queen' on CF before banning. Not QUITE so...).
anyway
Marc's page says 20' w/ 90% RH, can cause ice-up, and we DO get that here on RARE occasion. But I think even ONLY with
sustained hammer down, under those conditions, will you get ice. And I got an extra 'radiator' up front, for the automatic, and the fans stay on most of the time, with the extra heat.
And thanks to Marc for gettin' the re-coded Memory / Calibration module back in short order here
(I sure wish someone ELSE could get somethin' in the mail to me as fast as he did, for my tranny 
).
Where's the info on bleeding air from coolant lines? Doesn't the air push through after a couple of Closed Loop outings?
