I may have been the only one to correctly identify Undy's problem.
Uh, since, apparently, Undy's problem has now been identified, could someone condense the cause of this milkshake problem one more time for me? Some how, I think I missed the "correctly identified problem" here...

Was it a crack? Head gasket? Not using Evans cooling? Porous intake? Or, is the jury still out on the cause?

You missed it. It turned out that the kid next door was sneaking over every few days and pouring a cup of water in to his valve cover.

...And did GM's investment in Evans lead to every GM vehicle coming with a radiator full of it? Seems like they passed on it for production use. They're content to have all those steam pockets, corroded blocks, heads and rads remain in all their stuff. They should have invested in anode makers then...GM also invested heavily in E85 to the betterment of farmers and detriment of users with worse mileage. Also Saturn and a few hundred other projects best left deceased now.

No I don't think you're a dumbazz. I think you mean well and you believe you have found a better way and want to 'help' people. But as Ernie said, what is your solution for Undy? He (and most of the rest of us) doesn't need coolant help.

...or the tears rolling off my cheeks, into the valve cover breathers when I finally tallied up how much I've spent and how much this turd is worth..

One kudo for Ronbo though... With the zero coolant pressure of the Evans stuff it probably would cure my oil pollution problem... or maybe not. Sooooo... it does have some validity here. (group hug...everyone???)

Pat, ya sure it was water ... and he was pouring it??? I wuz wonderin' why the glycol tasted a bit salty
