Easy heater core fix

I have a thread that I would like to share with the people here. The Lincoln website I visit had a thead on how to fix the core leak by using "Bars-stop leak" . Now we all know that this stuff quick fixes radiators, but the guy on the site melts the pellets in hot water then with the core hoses disconnected from the engine, just pours it thru the heater core only. He has had luck with this method in the past. Read the thread, if you are in a jam its worth a try.

Yeah I did one in about 3 days. Of course it was the coldest day of the year on the last day. Then of course there was the blend door actuator that went bad on my '98 LSC. Had to fix that on the first snow day of the year (but I had a heated garage so it wasn't too bad).
