Will Knob Creek suffice? I’d really be even happier w/ losing myself in some kicking cun%%%%gus... haha! Oh wait, is that too dirty for mud?

 

[MoaByte]

Lol, you said Knob Creek!
You are a cunning linguist!

Slide hammer will get it out if you can get to it with the inner wheel well removed.

What if I just cut a hole big enough to work through? Haha! I’m really considering this. Removing that fender is gonna blow big time. The shop said to just go at it on a 90 degree angle, like one side and then gently pull it out w/ a pry bar.

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Ok ok... Second best, ice cream instead. Sigh.

Hiw much fluid will I have to drain @tmxmotorsports to get below those plugs?

 

[cruisermatt]

So your saying I should simply make her squirt?

So Richie, the owner of the machine shop, suggested I try this stuff first and just see. If it doesn’t work then I still have my back up plan.
Anyone have pros and cons on that stuff?

 

[Prairie Swamp]

If you don't mind plugging up your radiator and heater core.

Found this old thread from 2010. No worries guys, I won’t do it w/o really thinking it through.

Long years ago, when I was young and a cheapskate, I tried Bar's several times in various cars. All it did was make a big mess, and it never did plug even a small leak in a radiator. I wouldn't put that sh!t in a new motor, or an old one for that matter. After all the work you've put in on that motor, don't scrimp now; fix it right and sleep better at night for a long time.

Thank you. It’s going to the trash now so I’m not tempted.

A buddy of mine put some in his 22RE. A few months later he needed a new heater core, new radiator, etc. He might as well just cracked a couple eggs in there for all the good it done.
