Re: IML: Smoke on Dash equals Heater Coil leak

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Actually, the product itself forms mud.  I have used the stuff extensively in an
experimental engine in my lab at the University of Texas.  The engine I have
built tends to have many coolant leaks inside the crankcase (due to the
modifications I have done to it).  Sometimes, instead of disassembling the
whole engine, I just add some of this mud in there.  It usually works,
temporarily, which allows a few more tests to be ran.  This engine is
completely dissassembled and reassembled about twice a month, and a train load
of mud is removed from the block coolant passages.  This engine does not have a
radiatior.  Instead, a big aluminum bucket accumulates the water and the coolant
is actually heated in there.  You have to clean the bucket with an aceton wetted
rag to clean it from the mud.  I think it would be obvious what the mud would do
to the small passages of a radiator.
