It used to all taste sweet, if it was AF, but now they put bitterant in it to keep idiots from drinking it! Inspect webs between cyl's for cracks, if you have no AF in the crankcase, don't bother with the sleeves. Might as well check the head for warp, if you have it off, too. Oh, and lap the valves, and check the valves, and guides, when you have it out. If the pan gasket ain't leakin, leave it alone, till you get into the motor. JMHO [Reply]   [No Email]

I can"t tell if the oil/antifreeze smell is coming from the stack or from what has dripped onto the engine (next to the exhaust manifold) from trying to get parts off of it or after the "pressurized coolant leak" from last weekend... Dang it. [Reply]  [No Email]
