ok. tried to bleed my radiator by myself tonight which almost resulted in a castastrophic overheating of the engine. i had car on hill, radiator cap off, bleed valve off, and ran car at 3000 rpm. needless to say there was a lot of fluid spewing everywhere.
- i dislocated my arm while trying to do the job (i'm fine)
- i'm taking the car to the local shop tomorrow to have the radiator flushed.
- i'm drained.
.... to be continued
PS: all this started when i heard water coming from behind the dash. car still runs with no problems though. i'm just trying to keep it that way.
