You speak from personal experience?

EDIT... I actually like to stick a water hose into my air filter & let it rip.... skeet skeet skeet like a water hose!

my radiator kinda 'blew' up at the top seal.... again last night but I didn't find out until my drive to work this morning.

Engine got hot but not to the top of the gauge. At lunch time once the engine was cool, I dumped an entire gallon of water in the radiator. AFM had some water inside since the fan flung it everywhere. After drying it out the car ran fine. I think I might just go buy an aluminum radiator instead of fixing this old one again. more of my paint job fund going to repair work

in addition, large quantities of water in the combustion chambers also has an adverse affect on engine efficiency.

just put two eggs and some pepper in the rad, and maybe some powdered eggs and alumaseal too. the sludge will be so thick it cant leak! you can clean it out with beer later

touche. haha, if you make that mistake though, you probably deserve to go out. radiator fluid on the other hand.... so sweet, babies and animals love it. which is why antifreeze should be safley stored out of harms way.

Yeah paint is way over rated, take mine for example. I wish they sold fingernail polish by the gallon. That would be interesting to do a whole car in.

Or a latex based house paint. Just brush it on or roll it. Yes, that would be nice.

screw paint. Just take it down to the bare metal and wipe it down with some WD-40. Remember to re-apply frequently though. The extra work is well worth the precious ounces you will save.

Do try to keep it out of the rain though
