Pay attention to what sort of coolant is in your equipment to begin with. There are many different additive packages today. Some of these additives are compatible and some are not. Some of the incompatible ones will turn to jelly if mixed.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
