Hi,=20

I=E2=80=99m losing a little coolant =E2=80=93 say 1 pint per 200 miles =E2=
=80=93 from a pair of core plugs. (The two rear ones under the manifolds).=
=20

No way to access them from above and I very much doubt if it can be done fr=
om below though I haven=E2=80=99t looked. I=E2=80=99ve got Webers and a big=
 bore 6 branch so there=E2=80=99s not much room.=20

OK, I=E2=80=99ll have to strip out the Webers and drop the exhaust; that=E2=
=80=99s a given. And, at the same time, I can do a few other little things.=
=20

BUT, but....I don=E2=80=99t want to do it now. Not just when what we optimi=
stically call our summer is just beginning.=20

I hope to keep an eye on the loss and last it out until autumn. (Usually su=
mmer starts in June and autumn starts about a week later so I may not have =
much time).=20

I was thinking of putting some Radweld or similar magic goo into the coolan=
t. I know it=E2=80=99s fairly effective in radiators.....might it work on t=
he core plugs?=20

If the leak is not to serious it will.
But do not forget to flush the system truly and properly asap when 
permanent repairs have been carried out.

I don't see why it wouldn't (IFF they actually work). All of the 'leak stop=
pers' are some form of suspended solid that fills leaking cracks, or a liqu=
id that solidifies in said cracks. Plenty of debate as to whether they work=
--and whether they clog narrow passages or not--but we had a leak around a =
head bolt in our Ranger and put some in; it seemed to work with no side eff=
ects. That was years ago, we recently had to replace the radiator and did a=
 complete flush--to remove transmission fluid--and I didn't see much if any=
 gunk come out.=20

Worth a shot, IMO. There's dozens of products; if you have a favorite, use =
it, if not then do some research online. My dad was a factory rep for Ford,=
 and he says they used to throw a bottle of Bars Leaks into cars at service=
 as a matter of practice.=20
