hpop install huge mess
Funny story now but definately not at the time. installing the bolt and dreaded washer i needed a little extra clearence around the heater hose so i turned the clamp maybe a half inch out of the way and bamff and coolant went everywhere. who knows how much went down to the oil pan, i worried at first but thats the only place it could go, i hope

Got lucky myself. Needed to pull the Radiator line to get the bolt out so I was able to prepare for the massive amount of fluid about to pour into the resevoir. I cut side panel off a Budlight Box and wedged it between the reservoir and the hose before I pulled it. Worked like a charm. Just wish I would've put a small childrens pool underneath the front end to catch it. I guessed (wrong of course) that I would be ok with a 5GAL bucket strategically placed... BTW... T500 was installed with zero issues and it seems to have fixed part of my hard start, oil and fuel leak issues (thanks to Bob/Guzzle & Joey) and the power delivery is incredibly smooth. Could not be happier!!!
