I think I would do a long term pressure test of cooling sytem (a hour
or two) to see if there is a internal leak in it.

I am a little disappointed that my comment didn't start a flame war, but I

Re: CJ-5 Heater Fan Upgrade Questions
 

That's what I'm talking about. We don't need no smog check where I live,
because we have clean mountain air. (I think the pollution runs down hill,
most of it.) We don't need no EPA license to work on AC, as long as we get
paid in beer and not money. And we don't need no arm patch, because we
don't have no inferiority complex to worry about.
