even if it did work, it wouldent work to well under prob 40mph!

plus youd have to worry about it getting ripped off by something.


im sure its possible, but id be more looking into a flush, or testing for a blown head gasket first.

+1 on the blown head gasket....water should not be bubbling like that.
