    Wasn’t losing much coolant at all. Never came close to overheating, and had no fluids mixing into one another. I kept a close eye on it and out of precaution I’d drop in a few ounces every few weeks under semi-normal driving conditions. I’d cruise around town, but didn’t leave on any big trips out of fear of disaster striking. Who knows how long I could have driven for with the heads in the condition they were in. I just wanted to take care of it before winter hit and I’m glad I did.

    It’s still firing up beautifully and running great and I’ve gone on a couple road trips now. Feels incredible to be confidently back on the road again!
