Subject:Which coolant: blue, green or orange?

Mark,

    I am sure others will disagree but I would say use
what you feel most comfortable with but change it once
every two years and fix any leaks asap.   I think the
problems with the green phosphate coolant is the
result of people who drive with a headgasket leak and
this will do harm to the head.   If you fix the leak
earlier it will always be less expensive.

         My 87 GL Camper is getting a rebuild AVP
engine put in next
week.  I will be changing the coolant every two years
as recommended by
other waterboxer owners.  Which coolant should I use:
the OEM blue that
goes for $15 a gallon, the orange coolant at $7.50 a
gallon or the
green at $5 a gallon?  Thanks for the help...
