<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.summitracing.com">www.summitracing.com</A> 800 230 3030</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Part number is 35500. They'll only ship this UPS ground but for those of you in California, they can ship from a warehouse in Nevada. I think they're on the east coast. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Kragen will also order Moroso products, and they said they ship it from a warehouse in </DIV>
<DIV>Arizona (not UPS, but in-house). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Santa Ana Speed Center 714 835 6424 also carries it. Thats where I got mine. Couldn't find it anywhere in LA. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now I'm curious if Moroso will work in conjunction with Water Wetter. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did put Moroso in after flushing the radiator-coolant system for 15 minutes. To my chagrin, when I drained the system again 24 hours later (I was really 28 hours later), though the water "ran" clear, when I held up a gallon jug I had drained some into, it had a green tint to it. So I wish I had driven the van a bit, then drained and flushed it a second time before adding the Moroso Ceramic Engine Seal (MCES). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also it seems that as the coolant weeps overnight though one side of my headgasket (driver side, rear half only), it seems to me that there must have been coolant trapped there that could have interfered with MCES's potential. I have only a slight leak. Doesn't cause overheating, just weeps a bit when parked overnight, enough to have caused corrosion, but not enough to see a puddle the next day. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So when I drained out the MCES, I refrained from adding the coolant just yet. I'm thinking the residual MCES left in the system could still have an opportunity to work, or finish the job. Thing is, I don't know how long until rust takes over. And thus I'm wondering if Water Wetter, which has anticorrosive properties, could be added. Moroso won't work with coolant, will it work with Water Wetter? Maybe there's no way to get an answer on this. I'm thinking of adding another bottle of MCES. </DIV>
