I replaced the water pump on my '86 Nissan pickup a few years back. I filled the radiator up with water, checked for leaks, and drove it around. It worked great. The next day I went and bought coolant so when I had some time I'd drain the water and put that in. Well, over time a forgot that a HAD NOT done this. If you asked me if I had put the coolant in, I would have said 'yes'. December rolled around and one morning it wouldn't start. It froze. After defrosting the engine I tried refilling it with coolant. It took way too much coolant so I pulled the oil dipstick. My oil and coolant had mixed. I cracked the block!
