Ace, good luck with the tool. I've done it a few times and the best success I've had is with the plastic ones from Harbor Freight. I use the size that is too small and cut another one up to fit the piece that it needs to be the right size. I've tried two or three different sets and never got them to work correctly.

on a side note, i took my engine out twice with just swinging my a/c condenser out to the side. The last time i just took them apart. The harbor freight clips worked good but actually getting the lines apart was a bioch. They were stuck together pretty hard.
it reminds me of how its looked too many times in the past 3 years.

i had this problem also, i added a high pressure rad cap, and replaced the thermostat. the overflow tank never fills to max anymore but the coolant is still dirty( don't have a catch can). also the overheating problems disappeared. prob not a solution to the problem but it did treat the symptoms. I plan on building this block down the road so this solution helped me be able to drive the car and still race it till it get built.
