Huh.. never knew that running *cold* would be a bad thing o.O

10 minutes on a cool engine....three 10mm bolts and a 3/4 gallon of coolant is all it takes. Running too cool increaces wear and shortens oil life too.....

Heres a hint.....a 10mm deep well 3/8" socket and ratchet is the perfect length to get at all the bolts...
