Well, after pulling the motor out of the CX and frigging around with
easy-outs that weren't, O-rings that could've been and a seemingly
never-ending trickle of coolant, I eventually went with one of the original
semi-sarcastic suggestions and invested in a tube of silastic (high temp,
high pressure auto stuff). In another 12 hours, I'll know whether or not it
worked.

At least getting the engine out allowed me to clean her up a bit... I even
painted some engine bits to give the 'ol black maggot a more personal
touch... stay tuned for pics of the first black CX500 with "ford light blue"
valve covers, starter motor and carby lids!
