My system is bone dry, from servicing, block is dry, heater core is flushed and dried with a slow flow of 10 psi air. The radiator is new, and the hoses are all new. So that part is not a problem, it's the other things that I found out about only after buying the stuff, and ready the installation instructions. I don't object to it, I'm just wondering if it's all worth it now, seems like a lot more hassle, than "make sure your previous coolant is all gone".
Please tell about " the other things that I found out about only after buying the stuff".

It would seem getting rid of every bit of water in a cooling system is not an easy task. How critical is 100% water removal? There is moisture in the air and will slowly infiltrate an open Evans coolant system. How bad is that little bit of moisture in the Evans coolant long term?
