Ok, my project is sitting outside with an engine and radiator full of questionable coolant/water mix, and its dropping to -12 degrees Fahrenheit tomorrow.
My question... If my coolant water mix is crap (even worse, straight water) Is my engine doomed to leak everything come when i fire it up in the spring? I figure i d ask before i run out side and drain the coolant system in a last ditch effort to save my project... because if it hasn't frozen over yet, it would tomorrow... any input would be awesome. Thanks. This post has been edited by slo_celly: Jan 6, 2014 - 3:16 PM -------------------- |

you should probably try to get some coolant in there or drain the water.
if the water expands then there is a possibility that it could crack the block. |
