I know that I have seen info on a means to totally fill the coolant system, but that was quite awhile back. My second episode with lack of cooling and subsequent knocking engine MAY have been caused by a leaking "freeze" plug. That has been corrected and my oil sample to Blackstone has been analyzed and reported as only a mild elevation in copper (32 ppm vs universal average of 24 ppm) and lead (54 ppm vs 39 ppm universal average). Neither was rated as excessive. No fuel, coolant, or moisture in the oil, either. Their statement was, "Overall, this is a good report."
I'd say that this says that I maybe or probably don't need an engine replacement. YIPPEE !
If I can get cooling system properly filled, I believe we will take the Money Pit out for a weekend at a nearby campground.
