Hi Folks:

I'm back from a wonderful vacation! Comment on Peter's concern about the
"burp" provision in the cooling system -- we do make sure we have a small
hole in our thermostat around the periphery to help bleed the system. We
haven't ever had the bleeding problems that have been reported on the list.
It may have something to do with the cooler (heat exchanger) being mounted
very low on the engine, so the air finds it's way to the overflow bottle
pretty quickly.

Jon
