Thanks Tim. When I posted the question this morning, I had forgotten that there isn't a typical radiator cap on these beasts. After checking Bentley, I saw that it is just a bleed screw. So I picked a couple feet of various diameter plastic tubes and will use the closest one. I was leaning away from the tee but Gerald's response makes it sound like it very easy and thorough to use. However, as per your recommendation, I won't leave it in permanently. After I've completed the job, I'll post a summary. Drew
