Too hard to be sure what's causing hard start knowing I have a questionable pump (it leaks). Still, good know my valves and pump timing are not a concern. Once I got the valve cover off I could see that both my cam seals were leaking so replacing those gives some peace of mind too. It's a shame they didn't put a petcock in the radiator, this is the second time I've gotten a sleeve full of coolant trying to drain the rad. Trying to flush out all the old junk and get some fresh zerex g-05 in as part of the water pump/thermostat service.
