    I finished up installing the engine and guess what, completely forgot I left the front bonnet area bleed valve OPEN ! well actually I was not [pissed for a change it was funny as heck

    So filled rad, and kept filling it, started engine to get it moving then continued to fill it, but even with 19mm hoses AND additional rad at front, after 12L in something was up.

    At that point I notioned the tell tail running stream on the garage floor at my feet.

    Yip left the bleed valve open so everything going in was just coming back out.

    Always good to see a screw up now and again
