I have tried nothing other than make observations for the
obvious...and, I am not going to jump through your hoops. If no one
chooses to respond to the issue at hand because they have not had a
coolant loss experience with the specified vehicle/engine, that is
expected and appreciated. However, if someone has had direct
experience with the issue at hand and chooses to not respond, that is
fine, too. Group members are free to act as they see fit. This group
is not a club for little boys to keep their secrets from the other
little boys. I will find the answer shortly, one way or another. In
this age of information, thinking one can have another over a barrel
by withholding information is ridiculous.
