Default Re: First time @ WAZOO.......

Jim and Rich....
FYI, even though it showed I was a quart down on the oil dip stick when up on the rack, I waited until a few minutes ago, and rechecked, not even a pint down. So it appears to really check the oil when these engines are stone cold, to allow for all of that oil to drain down completely.

I also opened the radiator cap and the level was down, used more of the distilled water and kept squeezing the upper radiator hose to get the air out. Apparently there is some air left as I could hear the LS of the radiator groaning from time to time. And the hose is getting a little harder to squeeze as I imagine more fluid is filling in the hose. Will check later, I am sure I will go through a few cycles to get completely filled and all air out.

Just need to wash later (can't wait) and gas up.......
