Re: [DML] too cool cooling, stuck thermostat?!

["Adam Price" <acprice1@xxxx>]

I have been thinking of instaling the "over heat protector as advertised on 
some vendor sites and detaled on the DMCnews tech page. I was just wondering 
what others who have used this think about it. Is it true that once 
installed you never need to air bleed the coolant system again? Also, when 
instaling the barb into where the air bleed valve goes, is it necesary to 
use some type of anti-cease compound?

thanks, Adam
