Jacked the rear end way up and ran her @2800rpm with the pressure cap
off and h-pipe bleeder open, closed it all down, let her cool, and
then did it again. The engine front upper coolant pipes with the
h-fitting never do fill up solidly with coolant and nothing has ever
come out of that bleeder in the three times I've bled Cunegonde since
I got her. But the temp gauge shows her back down to her usual
low-normal no matter how high/how long I rev her in neutral.
Admittedly, the weather has been in the 50s and 60s here.

Then went for test drive to the gas station and back, and the temp is
at low-normal. Taking off for Portland tomorrow, will check fuel
efficiency with a top-up in Olympia. Let's hope she's UP to her usual
high-normal 19-21mpg! Then Portland-Grant's Pass on Sunday.

Will send a list report if after a new O2 sensor, Temp II sender, and
bleed, she's still running hot but rich.
