Anthony, when I refill the system I will be sure to fill-up that way, that is a very good idea. And the help with the plastic hose was much appreciated when I pulled the water-pump.
SpeedNinja, its Wisconsin. Even though its cold it should still warm-up, that is what the thermostat is there for. And before I put the new 1 in the engine heated up to normal range.
