Oh man I forgot about that! Wasn't that the time it was really wet out and another local had a samurai with a ford pinto motor in it and we were wearing them out trying to climb a nasty hill and wound up in a creek sideways? I believe it was getting dark out as well (to my defense).
Then as I proceeded forwards with some momentum a tree limb speared through the buggy and steam erupted everywhere! After hitting it full throttle a couple tries I noticed the green stuff was passing me by down stream (non toxic). This looked important to the reliability of my rig. Made it back to camp and then looked at the hole to see if it was fixable. That motor glowed a pretty red color that night you know. The hole was about the size of a basketball so no go on the egg in the radiator trick.
Sold it about 3 months and 3 front axles after that.
