Re: replace radiator always necessary...

.... $1300 later (that was the estimate for an entire cooling system
overhaul) Did I mention the year of the car '91. After talking with
the mech, we determined that yes the system could probably use an
entire overhaul, But in my case I just want to fix the major problem.
The cause was a "nipple" that sheared off. It somehow connects the
lower cooling hose from the throttle body to the block I think. I saw
the evidence. I asked that he replace the sheared "nipple" and two
throttle body hoses, run a pressure test- then call me. After that I
will probably ask that he flush the system and call it a day.

Q: anyone know the name for the part I referred to above - I called
Ford and it possible is a part of an EGR spacer? w/o seeing it he
could not be sure.
