Agreed, this way you're pulling anti-freeze in the same way as the water is handled. Just BE SURE to do it only when the engine has completely warmed up. Otherwise the thermostat won't be open and parts of the system would still have water in them. My big issue with this method is that most systems are designed to feed the manifolds regardless of thermostat position and unless your thermostat is wide open when you use this method, most of the a/f will be sucked in, then pushed out through the exhaust without ever seeing the inside of the block. PLUS, it will be mixing with the water that is already there thereby reducing the protection level (and possibly passing the threshold of protection). -- Regards, Dave Brown Brown's Marina Ltd http://brownsmarina.com/ |
