Just out of curiosity Torque, how many miles and what model??
My bike has about 8k Miles on it.. it's '03 C. I had defective start up valve in conjuction with coolant system. at the same time my cap with original coolant was almost full of shavings alone.. so I just drained it all out and flushed it with distilled water....replaced the start up valve and put Engine Ice in it @ 1k miles...Now I just checked my cap.. there's still shavings in it.. I'm assuming that the bearings in the pump started to woller out and causing the seal to fail?....O'well. I just ordered the pump.... just waitin' for brown van.....

Bill you sure do ask the right ?'s I like the ones you ask and then answer! luv it Swampy Two things that I'm not familiar with "start up valve" and "Engine Ice"I'm assuming Engine Ice is a type of coolant? If so, is it Silicate-free?Bill
