volospian Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'm aiming to get the old girl fired up this weekend and before I do I've got a few questions...I'm going to flush the coolant and oil and put new plugs in. Anything else worth doing before gunning her up?I'm going to turn her over a few times without any fuel after the filling, just to get things moving around a bit.Also what plugs are people using, and what coolant mixes? Any suggestions on coolant/anti-freeze brands?Ummmm, and anything else that I've forgotten to ask?? ;DCheers peeps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck the Truck Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hi Volospian,Coolant - if you live in a hard water area, use battery water as the basis for coolant. I also use Water Wetter and Halfords Radiator Conditioner (both contain corrosion inhibitors and WW breaks down surface tension - aids warmup and cooling). Any good quality antifreeze such as Bluecol also helps. Last time I had the thermostat out, once it had dried off it looked as though it had just come out of the box - so the mixture does keep things nice and clean.Best of luck with the 'fire-up' ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
