Interesting. A lot to consider. For now, I guess I will not use the Evans product.

Sort of back to the subject- at least this has been an interesting discourse on cooling systems- but does anyone have an idea of how to remove the oil filler tube, engine in car? I would like to get it out of the way to access the number 2 freeze plug. I have tried a plumbing strap tool, and it won't budge.
BTW, I will use 100% water plus Redline WaterWetter in my system. Similar to Norosion, but available off the shelf at fine auto parts stores nationwide.

It's just press in. You might try gently bumping in several directions with a rubber mallet to see if you can loosen it a bit and then pull up. When it does come out take notice of orientation. There should be a metal flap or baffle at the end sticking in crankcase. If installed wrong, the crank can hit and break it off. Several have run into that piece broken off and laying in oil pan or wondered why there was a ticking noise upon reinstalling the fill tube.

Thanks HH- that did it. I see where the baffle needs to be positioned away from the crank. Looks a little tight down there on these strokers!

Rev. Earl, nothing wrong with Red Line(yours above). I used their stuff before i heard of No-Rosion in the mid-'90s. What's nice about No-Rosion is that it's good for five (5) years, and in the bargain, a better deal if you order it direct.
I still use Red Line Lead Substitute, which is a good, vetted product. Even engines with hardened valve seats can benefit from Red Line Lead Substitute should you be in the mountains or are otherwise pulling a lot of manifold pressure. Cheap insurance, and uses sodium instead of lead to cushion the valves during that nanosecond microweld each time they close. But i've yet to find anything equal to No-Rosion and soft water for the cooling system. I learnt of it from a late friend who used nothing but in his Delahayes, Delage, Hispano-Suiza H6 and J12, Bugatti Type 101, a Packard Twelve, Marmon 16, Nash-Healey-- a real menagerie. Several took awards at Pebble Beach, but unlike most of those trailer queens, he insisted each of his cars run like the automobile it originally was, which i can vouch for. That's reason #237 why i like PackardInfo.com. Most of us here believe in driving our cars now and then.
