Thanks, John -- I really appreciate it!
Mellow Yellow's cooling bits have been reinstalled, coolant added, bubbles
accounted for, butt end lifted, rad bled until no bubbles, no drips
detected. Rad and hoses heat up, indicating flow of hot coolant, but that
bleeder valve at the front of the engine compartment doesn't do anything
regardless of being clockwise or counter-clockwise.
