Im confused.............. so i did the flush like it says how to in that link i posted......flushed it with garden hose.... drain.... distilled water.... drain.... distilled water... drain.. then coolant..... so for the last flush with the distilled water i filled up to the top, ran motor.... then unscrewed the drain on the radiator and pulled both the block plugs.. i did not pull the lower radiater hose ''i dont think'' ... screwd the block screws in and put in the thermastat closed the drain valve on the radiator then filled with 4 gallons of coolant and only 2 gallons of water???? that only is 6 gallons???? not 8... the first flush with the distilled water i fit 8 gallons in... can there really be 2 gallons worth of air in the system? if there is that much air in the system should i be worried about driveing it?

Oh yeah, they'll have to compensate me at highest market value (thanks to our ballot measure that passed last week) for my 60 acres and house. They'll plow my house and barns over, chainlink/razor wire fence the 60 acres, and drill the commercial well right after they chase my butt off it. The creek, of course, will then be a dry creek and the antelope, mule deer, chukars and quail will be SOL. I didn't even know their intentions until I happened to see the 20 year master plan for Sparks. There was my end of the valley (I live in the end of a high valley surrounded by mountains on three sides - Spanish Springs, which is slowly being gobbled up through annexation, is just over the mountains to my south) marked "for annexation". I knew immediately that it was my water they wanted...contacted the people who are involved with the metro Reno/Sparks water and they said nonchalantly "Yeah, we're going to take your place...don't know exactly when...but it will be condemed and taken through eminent domain." That's when I bought my place in southern New Mexico...I'd love to keep this place for my kids, but I know tilting at windmills is something I don't want to do at my age.
