mr.jar thanks for the confirmation on the blue coolant. you see, that's wat i thought i read before and i posted that and someone said no. im glad i wasn't just seeing things...

hi mr.gale- im talking about the valve that's on the large hose (top side of engine bay). after you drain the cold coolant out, i remove this valve on the hose so that when you pour new coolant into the radiaor, the air bleeds out to eliminate airbubbles. (might be called bleeder valve? not sure the terminology). haven't taken a close look on the Z, but i think it should be near the firewall.
