I am ranting on why a car drove flawlessly for a week then suddenly the HG gave up. I have done about 10K miles on the car since I bought it. I think the HG had been replaced prior. The engine hook was missing and the hard line not tied down etc. But I did not do the HG. It may be a botch job but the car drove very well, no loss of coolant. So it is a big surprise that it craps out.
