<<Don't forget to tell them about refilling the block with coolant after the radiator/pump/thermostat replacement. >>
Good Point!
To anyone replacing their water pump, radiator or hoses: The block drains relatively quickly. After refilling, idle the engine with the heat on and the radiator cap open for at least 5 minutes and fill radiator as it depletes. It will save you trouble when you drive home and an air pocket causes your engine to heat up...
