Very nice. The PITA with FEs and coolant is when you flush and fill you always get an air bubble or two. There's a lot of threads on here and the FE Forum that give different tricks on eliminating them, but it's still a PITA. Then when you fill up the radiator and, maybe, half fill the expansion tank, it takes a while for the air bubbles to work out and the coolant level to sort itself out by squirting out the overflow tube. By the time you get it just right, it's time to flush and fill again.
