Message	z is overheating so i pulled the radiator to clean and flush the coolant. the manual says the radiator takes in 9 quarts. mine tops out at 4! i started the engine and waited a good while to keep adding but its full. i didn't drain the engine block though. do i need a new radiator? by the way, the exterior of the radiator was FILTHY! if you haven't cleaned yours out yet, i highly recommend that you do so. leaves, newspapers, and other gunk just stuck to it. mike kim_michael@jpmorgan.com 1990 PearlGold Stage3 NA
