Re: Re-Over heat [Block Test]

["Ben Channard" <zeroid@hotmail.com>]

	On a recent segment of the TV program, "World of Collector Cars", there was 
a tool segment where the mechanics presented a product called Block Test (I 
think).  It appeared that you would aspirate air or coolant through a blue 
solution and if it turns green to yellow, it indicates leakage through a 
gasket or crack in the block/head.  I'm guessing that it's a chemical test 
for the presence of combustion by-products in the coolant.  The test itself 
seemed to be fast and very simple to perform.  I have no idea how much the 
test kit costs, its availability or how effective it is but it's something 
you might want to look into.  Regards, benton------
