Oh yeah I already know. In fact I put needle nose vicegrips on both heater core hoses when I added the K seal.

Thanks again for all your help Dave and all others that made contributions to this thread.

 

Have a nice life, Clayto. Keep in touch.

 

Don't worry Dave. I'm not going anywhere. I will stick around and share my misleading, bad, limited knowlege. It is the least I can do. Plus my front end is wore out and that is my next project. I have done front ends on two other vehicles so hopefully it won't be so embarrasing. I'll post pictures.

The stop leak seems to have worked for now. It is really just borrowed time so stay tuned! More amateur shenannigans to come.
