flush that green stuff out of there. if you dont want to buy the blue kind,
you can just use dex-cool (orange or red) but it's expensive too. the
previous owner of my vanagon used green and when i pulled the heads off,
there was extreme pitting on the surface, and the pipes on the sides of the
heads had holes through them. green is bad.
