[QUOTE="teejay, post: 70984, member: 51"] did he wait for it to cool down before putting in water? cold water + hot cylinder = trouble later on....... hope he didn't open the cap when it was hot too........cause the pressure may cause some pressure shift from hot to cold, so it may or may not effect your cooling system ( pray to god it didn't ) i would give him or them a piece of my mind cause i'm sure common sense would tell that some coolant lost when changing the valve, plus the water all over the place too...... just to be safe ,monitor your coolant level next few days/weeks, and also your exhaust smoke, don't wanna scare you but better be safe then sorry, do keep us post though...... good luck [/QUOTE]
