It would appear not. since it is sucking in the Anti Freeze and will displace any water left in the block. Thanks in advance. David On my 3.0 alpha1, I drain the block via the petcock on the side of the engine, also pull the little brass plug from the bottom of the exhaust manifold and drain it. Then pull the radiator hoses, and dump in the pink stuff untill I see it running out of the block and the manifold. leave them un capped and the hoses off. Then pull the water hose going down to the impeller and flush the pink stuff to it, untill it is draining out of the water intake. I've done that for two years and no problems, even when here in the midwest, we had some "record" sustaining cold. I also pull the battery and put it in the log splitter, where it gets charged and ran quite regularly. |
