Re: Radiator/Coolant flush/replacement
I've had Green in cars for ten years or more, if it's the same formulation.
Maybe these new engines made of pot metal are different, but I don't think
so as long as you use the right coolant or mix and distilled water. I think
this answers Bill's question too.

Re: Radiator/Coolant flush/replacement
Except I stick with the two years, and get eight years out of the
radiator (corrodes from the outside in, via sea air) and water pump. No core
plugs in fifty years, thirty years, twenty eight years. With the green
stuff, that I'm sure the formula has changed many times, you will see you
have to dig the block drains plugs open each time. And out comes a black
stuff that's got to be an acid, as it eats the plug a clean silver.

Re: Radiator/Coolant flush/replacement
There's no paint you can use? A radiator lasts forever in Colorado.

Re: Radiator/Coolant flush/replacement
I got my ear pinned back once when I was caught spray painting a
radiator. I was explained to me that paint, even a thin layer held the heat
in. And in the old days my Fords ran on the razors' edge, anyway.
