I've been to the garage with my ZX, I have a great engine there, they
put in a thermostat (I knew I needed one), everything ok, and then, to
my horror, the mechanic poured tap water over parts of the engine to
wash off the green radiator fluid.
I asked him, to late, why he did this and isn't a no-no, and of course
I don't give a damn if the engine has green stains or pink ones for
that matter, and if it is not dangerous to the engine, as these temp
differences can cause an engine to crack.
He, and all the rest of the mechanics there, said they do it all the
time.
I'm pissed off because I hate it when people do useless and
unnecessary things to an engine that might be harmfull to it.
What do you say?
is it non-healthy or is it OK?
the engine was in proper working temp, ~ 90 degrees, and the tap water
was ~ 10 degrees, he poured about 1 liter.
I wish you'd all say I'm working a frenzy for nothing and it's no big
deal...
thanks
