[Supras] After 240000 miles I have a BHG

[Eric Boeck]

LOL ...  K.I.S.S.???  Good idea ..  If that doesn't solve it, make sure you
TEST for a BHG via the snap on sniffer if it comes down to it.  On top of
1300 bux,  the rad cap and sniffer are worth the cost to check first!

I'd replace the radiator cap first.

coolant out. The temp gauge never went past the norm.
