Re: Help-Lost my anti freeze installing headers

The radiator is full, I am just worried about the motor not having anything in it until the thermostat opens up, will it be ok starting it like that? Then I can refill the radiator
The sensor did go into the head above the plugs

The engine will be fine. Just fill it up after you start it.

Don't know how cold it gets there in the winter, but I'd be sure & check the antifreeze for "how low can you go?" sometime this autumn before the snow flies...............

More than one motor ruined by people filling up with water in the summer & forgetting that.
