If it was just a lack of heat I would have done it but the hose was completely crimped and I felt it was going to trap air and not allow me to fully bleed the system. Just not worth the risk driving an hour and then racing with a questionable cooling system; this is my only car.

I'll send an email but I'm probably just going to write the money off. That's a spot that they couldn't fill and if they refund me that's just money lost on the whole thing. Still, I guess it can't hurt to try.
