Subject:      Re: Newest Version of Coolant leaks 

I have used BarsLeak for the last 50k plus with excellent results in my '85. I've mentioned this a couple times on the mailing list but have received little comment. I think the tendency is to stay away from any type of stop leak gunk out of fear that it might muck up the cooling system. I have instinctively stayed away from the powdered aluminum products out of such fears but the BarsLeak product has proven itself to me.

p.s. I now have 128k on the odometer.

=========================================================================== Upside of this is: plastic aluminium MAY do as a 'temporary repair', it's lasted at least 10 months in my van so far. I'll let the list know if all the leaks go away after sealing the stud. If this is so then it might buy some time (1-2yrs?) for those of you who are cash short (like, ALL of us) when major leaks are going on. On the same theme, why can't our pitted in nicely, full threads there, just crooked and a bit too deep! TIA tim s.
