I thought the access point to those was under the seats and carpet? Ah, it must have been a Mid production year changeover. Best bet would be to take out the interior before he pulled the motor. ...you know, to save him some work.

Is the radiator recalibration tool a special order? I wonder if Harbor Freight tools has them? I have looked every where.

I seen a Radiator calibration tool at Harbor freight but is is Nuclear powered and expensive. I also heard you can re-calibrate the Radiator by using a toilet plunger on where the Rad cap goes. I think it about 20 up and down cycles and you should be good to go
