[Shotimes] Cooling system capacity--anyone?

[Scot Hewitt]

Frank,

Cooling system capacity is about 3 gallons, when I've flushed with water you
will need about 2 gallons to fill it back up.  About a gallon stays behind
in the block.  I would go with a 75/25 glycol/water mix to get a 50/50 mix
in the end.  You could also pull the drain plugs on the bottom of the block
to get most of the water out.

flush--didn't need the Helms).  Does anyone know the cooling system
capacity?  I just used the "long hose from radiator hose, run engine, feed
water into the radiator" method, so it just has straight water in it now.
