Has anyone heard of using Sodium Silicate in the radiator to stop a leak on a block or head? An old man told me that he once sold used cars and sometimes in the winter a block or two would burst or if one of the heads cracked, he would put a couple of pints in the radiator and never think about it again. He said everybody did it. He also said the next time it froze, it may burst somewhere else, but not in the original crack. He said he used it on "a many a" tractors in his day. The only thing I know about it, is that its not compatible with antifreze. I'm looking for the last sunset any day now and never heard of that before, so how about some of you other old timers, or younguns, throwing in something on it.
