No NO NO! This is only a last ditch effort if you cannot rebuild the engine. Once you put that crap in the cooling system, it clogs EVERYTHING and is VERY hard to remove.

Rebuild the engine, or stop driving it, but DO NOT do the Paul Yaw fix unless absolutely necessary.

88 T2, 95000miles just brought back from 5 year rest pulls pretty hard but has stupid leaking fuel injectors!!!!...and I wouldn't park a car with an internal coolant leak, as the coolant will leak into the combustion chamber and rust all of your internal components. Oh yeah and the 85 GS showing 118,000 on the odometer that hasn't worked (the odometer) for about 8,000miles, runs good and was sitting for 6 1/2 years before I restored it with a carburetor.
