Just an update on the Kim hots tart tank style heater,it has not been cold enough lately to use it lately but when it was cold enough it heated up the block up to 120 degrees and started like it wasJuly.
My boss used to warn customers who asked for a transmission fluid flush after never doing one for 100k + miles because quite often the trans would start slipping shortly after. The sticky gunk that was holding it all together would get washed out. Ha ha.
My IP never leaked until I power washed my engine. It's true.
Good to know.. My M1028 sleeps outdoors and gets washed gently by rain.
This is the engine in my Terminus M1009. So you think I am asking for problems if I wash this engine down with the pressure washer? Covered in dried mud is a great way to discover oil leaks. Which amazingly if has so few. I am going to replace the master cylinder that area is the wettest from the cover leaking or whatever. The fluid is very crappy looking and I just replaced the front calipers and rear wheel cylinders. so why not? The other oil leaks that I see in the dust are minor at best. Underside I did remove the transmission governor cover plate and put the right stuff on it. The 4 bolts were finger tight on that cover. It leaked very little. But it leaked slightly. Just asking. it can stay this way. maybe a few runs through deep water will wash it again.
If that was me I'd wash it asap
Looks like my engine bay! Ha ha. And it's been like that for a few years. I'll low pressure rinse it once in a while, but it's no show truck so it doesn't need a power wash.
