Hi Joe,
Thanks for the response. I was under the impression that the antifreeze is locked in the block and won't come out until the thermostat allows water to direct through there. We didn't remove the thermostat or clamp the bypass hose. Also, we are required to capture anti-freeze, hence the bucket. But next time I am fitting a hose to the exhaust (we do this on land).
