and found nothing. No leaks. No orange crusties. No butt crusties. I mean Mohammed Meatlesssoy's car was spewing like a spittin' 'bacco convention.

850 - swapped to sexcool summer 2001. Clean. Perfect. All original cooling system.
245Ti - swapped to sexcool spring 1998 with new Nissens, 'stat, hoses (all), plastic tank, changed coolant in fall 98 because original Nissens was defective, for new water pump in spring 1999 (duh), put electric fan on in spring 1999. Clean. perfect. On about the 4th tank cap, because Dexcool crusties clog the pressure relief mechanism - jam open. Clue?

Drum roll please: 1985 Toychota pick-up. 2.4L inline 4. Checked the records. Changed to sexcool in spring 1996. Coolant perfect. Cooling system perfect. This pup has a stock brass radiator...all is in great shape.
