Time for a good service

My engine got sick of the old coolant and desided to do a proper flush while I was driving on the freeway. My temps suddenly shot up skyhigh and I noticed there was no hot air from the heater anymore...So I stopped it at the first opportunity, which it would have done anyway since it was stuttering already.
I noticed the entire radiator was empty while I was looking at my steaming engine..
I couldnt figure out what the problem had been, but I took a second look while waiting for good old robokill to help me out with some coolant.
The thermo switch in the ae92 thermostat housing had come loose apparantly, I lost it somewhere along the way, turning my 4age into an air-cooled engine.

Scary stuff....I'm lucky I had the original ae86 parts and gasket on board, switched them back and filled up, and she purred like a kitten again..

LOVE THE 4AGE...it's almost idiot proof...

FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC!
