<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Agree with all previous posts. I did not take the best care of my new HX the first few years I had it and that was not good. I was lucky to tatally save it. Took it to a local radiator shop (Freddies in Bellflower for you locals) and they boiled it out, pressure tested it, totally cleaned it, stripped it and painted it with hear paint - thing looked brand new inside and out - $60.00.<BR><BR>s/v Wing N' Prayer #456 MKI<BR>Fleet 2 Long Beach<BR><BR>--- On <B>Wed, 7/1/09, Jim Stocks <I><jastocks@sonic.net></I></B> wrote:<BR>
