Now that I have completed a strech of working 30 of the last 36 nights
(refueling outages are busy times at the old nuke plant), I believe I need to
politely asking Mr. Jim Friesen for an in the garage lesson on valve adjusting.
Before I do my engine needs a good cleaning to prevent stern finger wagging. It
appears sometime after I didi the power steering PM (purge, swap to M1 ATF,
change filter) the seemingly good cap gasket partly failed spewing fluid all
over. Of course the fluid acted as a dirt magnet...and the fluid, having been
soaked into the hood pad, is now in the process of eating it away.
What have we collectively decided is the best stuff to use? Do we do it cold or
at temp? Car wash pressure or garden hose?

Now that that new fuel is out there, I've heard several dudes at the workplace
say they are starting to see leaks develop, lots more black smokin', etc. A
vast majority of these guys have pre Powerchoke Fords (the 7.0 I think).
Is this to be expected? Is this a big co-inky-dink? If I missed the low sulfer
fuel thread, I'm sorry but do we have something to worry about? I have read
some engines may need additives, but that infor was put out by companies who
make additives.
I finally read the sticker on the fuel pump at Loves last night and it read. in
part:
"Can't use this fuel in a 2007 or later engine."
Who's out there driving a 2008 vehicle already?

Curt:
It is so unlikely that you will be able to clean out that rad that you
would be better off catching meteors....
Check for a cold spot in front of the fan -- if there is one, dump the
rad.
Sadly, the stuff that collects is only dissolved by acids that will
also eat the aluminum, and you cannot remove and replace the tanks, the
aluminum crimps break off.
You can get a copper and brass replacment for the W123 cars, but I
don't know of one for the newer ones. And, after all, it's what, old
enough to vote?
