If it makes the cruise lexxie, let me know if you find out if the engine needs a rebuild or not, as I have a full motor for sale, recoed head. I'm taking it out next week, and touching it up a bit, then it's on the market. Make sure they put the right amount of inhibitor in it, and the radiator gets recored, not flushed... Otherwise it'll happen again What're they charging you for? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Not sure exactly how much but close to a grand i think, they are looking over everything and i'm going down at lunch to see everything they found that needs replacing, but at the moment it just looks like a whole new radiator and cooling system, and then all the hoses replaced and everything cleaned up a bit. Hopefully thats all.

Dude... I doubt anyone'd spend a million to fix a VL Yeah, they'll need to powerflush the block, new thermostat, new water pump, new/recored radiator, new hoses... It's a days work easily Just after it gets fixed, make sure to keep an eye on the water level, just in case you've cooked the gasket, or the head, as it might crack, then you're up for more money then (About $300.00 to reco it, if it's not too bad) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
