Re: [Chrysler300] Macungie, Hard Luck Award?

["Ronald Kurtz mark6268@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, all:

The water jackets in the engine blocks (361 in my Newport and the 413s in my Ks and E) were loaded with casting sand, rust and other nasty stuff to the point where water could not circulate around the internal cylinder walls. The blocks were out of the cars and thoroughly dried. I  managed to get rid of most of the stuff by scraping with a host of tools and vacuuming through the freeze-plug holes. In one case boiling the block had little effect.

Someone may have a technique to clean out the block while it is still in the car. If so, I (and most likely others) would like to know of it.

Best,
Ron Kurtz

       Hoping
 to win the Hard Luck Award this year so that no one else has
 a worse story.  Team Kreszock/Jett made it but 60 miles
 from Boone NC when the 300Kreszock overheated big time. 
 Since the Carlisle trial of the heat removing program had
  earned a meager D+, when back in Boone we  removed the
 radiator and flushed, replaced the water pump, added Water
 Wetter, new radiator cap, and on and on.  All was going
 very well on the trip to PA until the belt adjusting pulley
 froze and ate the fan belt.  That part is not available at
 NAPA.  The car is parked in Marion NC and will be retrieved
 after the meet.  So good that Martha and Sandy were
 following in modern Jeep.  See you very soonLarry W Jett
