Think of it this way...it's time.  Just like it's time -- *really*
time -- for that H-shaped plastic bomb back by the pressure tank, and
the pressure tank itself if it hasn't been replaced already.  Since
the H-thing is NLA, someone needs to start making up an equivalent
from copper tubing or such.  There's a metering hole in the middle of
the thing, it's not complicated but not totally simple either.  For
the tank, look for internal stress cracks in the neck area and around
the midsection flange.  If you can't see through the tank to find the
cracks, consider it toast.

And when you're bleeding Mr. Quite Rightly after his new radiator,
handle the bleeder valve in the engine compartment very very
gingerly.  That's another plastic fitting that's past its sell-by
date and probably NLA.

Yrs,
