It's delicious. Problem is it makes it hard for you to fall asleep for a few days. Also, you lose a lot of blood, so you may want to use the toilet with the lights off so as not to scare yourself.

With a fever of 112*, you don't really notice the ambient temperature much.

At 112 you wouldn't be noticing anything but a red pitch fork or the pearly gates.

Ummmm you may want to check for a blown head gasket my friend LOL.
haha i was thinking the same thing...drain your oil and see if antifreeze comes out first
Hmm. That might explain more than just the coolant.

Well, I'm tearing the whole thing apart anyway. Gaskets will have their turn soon enough.

when water touches metal whether it's aluminum or iron,a little chemical reaction takes place. it's called galvanic corrosion. the corrosion doesn't mix with the anti-freeze, therefore it settles to the bottom of the radiator. just leave the petcock open and flush it real good
