The hard headedness comes from being an engineer and being behind on everything in life lately. I got it in my head that this would be a somewhat difficult job and have been dragging it out over many days now because of other things in my life outside of my job. Yes I wanted to vent some. I saw there was a post on here about the install of this gasket a couple weeks ago so I knew I had the reference material if I got stuck. I didn't just go completely blind at this. I just was surprised/well pissed by the amount of coolant that came rolling out of the intake after the radiator was already drained.
