I posted this last year, heating season is here again. These are big cracks, a tiny one you would not be able to hear would still be dangerous. These are not accident damaged. If you have a set on your car, grab the carbon monoxide detector from home and take a ride with the heat on and windows rolled up. There is a detector used in small aircraft also available. The last photo is how we now test for leaks using air pressure. Brad

I'm back to thinking about electric heaters for the air-cooled cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I'm back to thinking about electric heaters for the air-cooled cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Good luck with that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Electric heaters for VW bugs, etc. have been around since the 60's, they never work worth a shit. Too much of a draw on the alternator. |
