I purchased the Bufkin pipe. Hope never need it. Never used the Bar Stop Leak either. Used to add a little water pump lube back when antifreeze was not "lifetime" service interval.
Using it seems like my way of fixing an issue, not yours. The method shown in the pictures looks tough.

I red that o-ring is leaking, though I saw a picture of a broken plastic pipe too, but I believe it was broken in the process.

Hi I'm trying to remove those exhaust studs to move coolant pipe up to clear oil cooler. I'm not having any luck. I tried to lock two nuts together and then remove them with a deep well but they don't loxk together the just spin off together. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance
