Re: square pockets below the internal water pipe

John Hervey suggested filling with silicone - which I will probably 
do soon when I get in there for a major tune-up. The other approach 
would be to pour some antifreeze in there and let it "burn off". I 
did this by accident once and the next time I got to examine the 
area it was lined, under the trash, with an antifreeze goo that 
seemed to protect the metal quite well. This was Houston where water 
seldom freezes.
