Pro
Flushed radiator, changed out lower radiator hose and flange gasket up top.
Went with Zerex G-05. Borrowed a pressurizer from the local auto parts store and it actually went pretty well. Do have a question, though...
Understand full system capacity in the 89 944 N/A is about 2.1 gallons. Can anyone tell me how that breaks down by component (radiator/block/hearter core)? Water pump was replaced not too long ago, and with it a full flush and service of the coolant. That being said, I just pulled the lower hose and drained the radiator. Also pulled the expansion tank and cleaned it as best I could. Went to refill and after a couple cycles of running and bleeding/venting, she took just 1 gallon. Let her idle for a good long while, took her for a spirited drive and temp guage barely peeked above first line. One more quick vent and I called it done.
1 gallon sound about right in this scenario?
Thanks in advance.

Finishing up a clutch and RMS job, did the speed/ref sensor cut-out and made a simple plate to block off the TDC viewport. Used thin aluminum flashing, cut to shape with a "handle", a couple of dabs of RTV to hold it in place. It can be removed when I do the next belt job with a simple tug.

Where do you get the airbrush?
Re-dyed my steering wheel....looks brand new. It was one of the easiest DIY things I've done. Took 2 hours, a $25 airbrush, 600 grit sandpaper and the steering wheel kit from Leatherique. It was in ruff shape when I started. I have enough to do about 3 more wheels too...awesome.
