Thanks for keeping the Barn alive Ryan!

I'm an old guy and yes, I hate change. But this is a good one to make. Thanks Ryan!

I just pull the front pan off mine when changing the coolant. It's not that hard to do...

This is correct!

Ryan, thanks for effort you put in here and on the HAMB, it is appreciated.
