Subject:Re: Air in my coolant - part deux
Date:Tue, 19 May 1998 15:16:01 -0400

I haven't tried leaving the engine running after a long ride. I'll have
to test that.

Should I use a radiator leak sealer or an engine leak sealer ? I use
synthetic engine oil and noticed that most engine leak sealers are
pertoleum based, could this cause problems ?

what happens if you stop driving after a long trip but don't shut off
the
engine? Is there air then?

If no then you may have a problem with air being sucked into the system
during
cool-down.
If yes then the air is coming from a leak in a head.

Have you tried one of the leak sealers?
