          Just make sure you don't dribble coolant on the OptiSpark. When I do the bypass for people, I always drain enough coolant out of the bottom of the radiator to put the coolant level below the TB, to minimize the spill. You should still protect the Opti with some rags, because there will be drips from the hoses, and you will get drips when you bleed the air out of the cooling system.

              I did mine when it was warmed up and running. It just needs to have pressure in the system.

              We are lucky that our cars are the same year as Rob's.
