First off I wuz just joking about the selling...
After pulling the radiator I found that the seam (plastic/metal) had let go.
The cap separated down low right at the aircleaner box. Loss of power I strongly
suspect, was due to the air filter getting soaked. I think that as I drove
the radiator started to leak.. the coolent was getting sucked into the air
cleaner and as it got wetter an wetter it was slowly starving off the
oxygen... then when the seam let go big time and the temps started climbing
quicker it was drowning the air intake at the same time.. loss of power
due to drowning. :-) No apparent water in the oil (yet).. I just dont
think it got that hot..

while I have this all out can I flush the block with a hose or will the
water pump get in the way?
