Default Well, this is probably not good

I just went to flush the anti-freeze in the 1984 that slept for 17 years and when I undo the drain plug clear water came out.

Hi Terry - no, I am in SoCal and rarely below 50 degrees for any time period.

SoCal Tom, if you are in SoCal it may not be an issue at all unless you are up in a place like Wrightwood where the temp gets below freezing. Actually having just water may have done a favor to the head gaskets over time in a warm SoCal climate.

Well that is a lucky break perhaps - going to move on to bigger problems now then. Thanks!

I was expecting much worse with your title, like chocolate pudding coming out of the radiatior drain.

Much worse is sure to come!

If it's OK I'm going to move updates from here over to a consolidated thread, I hope that'll be easier for everyone;
