Ohhh, you crack the egg in there right? Should you whip it up first or just drop it in?

 

 

 

You just drop the egg in if i remember correctly,  add coarse black pepper for extra seasoning. It sounds crazy but my dad nursed a noticeable coolant leak for over a year by adding an egg every couple months.

Just use a 1/4 cup of oat meal it will stop a leak and it's high in fiber it'll lower cholesterol too.

I dunno-

 

ugly lookin' pizza can still taste pretty good.

 

But I'll pass on the radiator egg souffle, thanks...

I prefer "rustic" to "ugly". I lack proper pizza tools (stone, peel, slide) and I'm spending all my $$$$ on my car so "rustic" it is for now. 

Comments from household members about "funny looking" pizza have pretty much dried up, they are too busy scarfin it down to complain.

...but do they eat the eggs?

Don't you have some bangers and mash to make?

Too many left-overs, so it was bubble & squeak day?

Oops,  I was supposed to put the egg in the radiator, not the filling....

Looks like we've taken a politico-culinary turn, but I've seen the stuff work a few times.

 

Most amazingly:  Very early last season on of my racing acquaintances either had a cracked head or a failed head gasket in his  Datsun 510..anyway it was bad..steamy exhaust overheating..open radiator acting like Old un-Faithfull with random big eruptions.  So he was packing it up at the end of day one:(     Blah blah blah   Half an hour later in went the magic metallic milkshake and It ran perfect the rest of the weekend and for the rest of the season.  Of course there is no heater core in the car but there were also  no winter comments from his engine builder about any strange residue or damage and and the radiator must have been fine because it will be getting used again next weekend.

 

Now I keep a bottle of it with me.

I'm still waiting for someone with firsthand experience to chime in with pics of their clogged heater core.  (crickets)

 

I'm sure this stuff is not panacea for (all) motors that that are a complete mess, as shown in some reviews. But is sure is looking like it works more often that not.

 

And I'll just leave this here

[tech71]

Wait Ray, those big boys cant be real time? Seriously? 

I might consider using the stuff on a leaking heater core to buy some time.
