 At least it's off now. I'm going to drain some water off and add antifreeze so it doesn't corrode the block.

Did you check what the volts were in the water before you do this??? |

I'll have to charge the battery first.

No silly. Are you concerned about the Antifreeze not being good anymore and eating the heads and other parts?? If so, you can check the level of the antifreeze by seeing how many volts are in it. Brian Mullaney turned me on to it. I can't remember what number it was to say it's time to change the fluid. I can find out if you want me to??? |

http://www.waynesgarage.com/docs/engine_coolant.htm Quote: A Digital Multimeter can be used to test for this.
1. Attach the DMM ground probe to the negative battery post. 2. Insert the tip of the positive probe into the coolant and observe the reading. OK – less than .10 volts. Bad – anything above .20 volts. |

I have straight water in it now. I'm going to add some antifreeze so it doesn't corrode. I can't drain the block on the one side because I keep forgeting to notch the pan when it's off. |
