Re: [ST] Coolant flush....

["Jim Leach" <leachsr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 DO IT NOW !!
or you'll have lots of time to repair it in the warm weather.
I'm not familiar with the Honda set-up but it can't be that hard to drain.
Dispose of the used coolant  at your local "Hazardous Materials" site.
You can leave it empty providing you're sure all the water is out or refill 
with 50/50 coolant.
Also you want to investigate the best coolant for your Track set-up, water 
by itself is not as efficient as some other mixtures.
