Re: Loss of coolant

If you're concerned about warpage do a compression test. Will either
keep you awake at night or allow you to sleep.

Now, about those hoses:

See Message #34049. Are far too many DeLo's running around on 22 year
old hoses. Disasters waiting to happen. ALL of them need to be
replaced (don't forget heater core return line under intake manifold).
Also need to replace O rings for "internal" water pipe. Is a chore I
know, but far better than melting your new engine...
