.....I should have listened to "Smokey" ....... I wonder if Smokey got his name from the fact that the P51 had a glycol cooler mounted under the fuse that was always a favourite target to shoot at....can't blame him for not liking liquid cooling :-).
I broke 2 timing belts in my Subaru car over 120,000 kms but had no radiator or coolant problems. I reckon the belt is the most susceptible component in a Soob (instant stoppage as opposed to a slower rise in temperatures) and it cannot be easily inspected or replaced. I've also heard the rumour that belt breakage can allow the cam to misalign such that valve heads can be hit by upcoming pistons. The timing belt concern alone steered me away from the Soob.
