I would rate it a 5 on a scale of 1-10.
Thanks - Haynes freaked me out at first by saying that I needed to pull the radiator and all of the belts. Now I see it not nearly as bad as I first thought.

Can a problem in my heating system in any way affect my new water pump? Is it common for a citrus flush to push flaky components over the edge like that?
