[AT] Spam> Blue Devil brand stop-leak

[John Hall]

Now that sounds interesting!

The 2 sealers I swear by have never failed us--I've tried a few others years 
ago that were pretty much worthless in my opinion.

Speaking of sealers, the Ferguson we rebuilt this spring had been leaking 
water into the oil for quite some time. The owners had dumped quite a bit of 
stop leak in it. To say there was quite a bit of gooey mess inside the block 
is an understatement!
