NOTE: Removing the block plug allows air to escape during the fill process without forming an air lock to
coolant flow.
8. Check the hoses and clamps for looseness or damage. Replace if necessary.
9. Check the radiator for leaks or severe coil damage. Replace the radiator if damage has created a leak,
or has caused flow restriction from crushed coils.
