Make sure you get the surface PERFECTLY clean. Get ALL of the antifreeze out of the cyls and put ATF around the rings.Wipe down the cyl walls with a clean oiled rag (I usually use ATF for this too) Cover the engine with a good clean cloth to keep dirt out.

Thanks. I have to see about getting a space to work. I have a very SMALL garage, and while I did the plugs there it was a somewhat tight fit. The garage my guitar player works at is ~22 miles away, so I think maybe the car might "break down" somewhere within 3 miles of home and AAA will have to tow it to the shop...

OK, you thoroughly got me running scared now... I have the new radiator in, and ordered a Genuine cap and t-stat from Toyota. The radiator is full, but I have as yet not started the car to circulate coolant. What should I do? Should I try starting it at all, or just, as you say, "PARK IT AND PULL THE HEAD", period?
