Radiator Hose Bleeder Screw -- FU
#11
#13
Just thought I'd toss this in there. When I replaced my old style hose with the new one after the bleeder screw broke, I heard something rattling around in the hose. It was the piece where the bleeder screw actually threads into the hose, it looked like a small piece of bakelite. Anyway, without the screw holding it into the hose, it fell into the hose. No big deal because I found it but I imagine it would not have been good to have that rattling around the coolant system. So, probably an unlikely thing to happen but worth checking, I think.

I decided to go with the updated hose assembly, because why not?I'm not going to play games with the cooling system in this ticking time bomb for a matter of saving $50 bucks. It was an easy decision for me.
Plus, it gave me something to do for 15 minutes the other night.
