Re: [DMCForum] checking for leaks?

["Andrei Cular" <acular@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That liquid is just something that fluoresces under a certain wave length
of
light.  It glows with black light.  But the main thing is that it is in
liquid form not a powder suspended in liquid.

You would be suppressed how much vacuum an engine can produce.  I have a
friend who built a super charged Chevy s-10 with an ls1 out of a vett.  We
would all tease him that if he wasn't careful he would suck up a small dog
or kid, cause his intake was low on the front fascia.  Well one day he
didn't show up to class cause he sucked a squirrel up and it got stuck in
the middle of the pipe going to the air filter.

250 is fairly fine but I still wouldn't want any of that in my engine.
