Thanks Golfman, nice of you to post that.

Rob, Santa will bring my 850 premium fuel for the rest of the year, and maybe a tire rotation.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Rob,

Don't even bother with that gray colored coolant overflow cap, they were all born bad and they will split. Get a new greenish blue colored one, they will work properly and last forever.
