Picked up the car on Friday afternoon. Mech-an-ick said he had =
absolutely no idea as to what happened. Rear shoe was completely gone. =
He fixed them, no charge, told me to have a nice day. Who knows? I =
would blame it on my ex-wife, but no-one would believe me.
He also put in a 180 deg. thermostat, a quart of "40 below" and the temp =
held right at 180 (actually, the gauge read about 175) all the way home. =
I pushed it up to 75 to give it a good test and it was rock solid. He =
figures that the absence of a thermostat allowed the fluid to circulate =
too quickly and never got cooled. Must be right, it is fine now.
So, now, on to the next problem....
