RE: [DMCForum] checking for leaks?

It would be like putting very fine sand in your engine. Probably not a
good
idea.  There are luminescent liquids that you could possibly use in your
coolant system for the same thing.  Pep Boys was doing this for awhile,
though I am not sure they still are.  It would attract a lot of attention
driving down the road with your oil pan glowing green or blue.

And what will that powder do the the different metals?  or when it gets
sucked into a leak how will it burn in the cylinder or will it just stick
to
the top of the piston and valves?


Looks like fun stuff to play with tho.
