Be prepared to replace the engine.
My '05 is at Pro Engines in Elon, NC right for a reman motor. Original motor was trashed by 3 dropped valve seats that occurred after replacing a leaking radiator.
Apparently, if the cooling system is not thoroughly "bled", an air pocket will become trapped in the head causing a serious hot spot that results in loose valve seats & ultimately leads to total destruction.
