start saving $$$ for a new engine... Posted by Saabu [Email] (#1133) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Saabu) on Tue, 25 Jan 2005 20:20:22 In Reply to: Been driving with bad HG over a year, PJ Cats, Tue, 25 Jan 2005 02:02:34 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
driving with coolant in the oil is gonna wreck your engine. i tore apart an SPG engine with plans to leave the bottom end alone. However, after it sat on the engine stand for a few weeks and dried out, i noticed that there was a bunch of stuff starting to dry and flake off mainly in the little hollows of the crankcase. Asked around and was told that antifreeze and heat in oil makes a hell of a glue, so as you drive you are creating a shellac that is coating your engine everywhere. Arteriosclerosis of the engine?
well you've gone this far, might as well start looking for a newer engine.
