Reply to "Shonky coolants"

Ah ha,

I think I've now figured it out.

The guy was dumb with ambitions of being a crook.

He received the engine a year ago. Put his quality fluids and his local ground water in it. I did some research on where he lives and found the local water supply is regarded as "brackish".  That is salty water. (I don't know how they drink it, drinking salt water sends you mad) that might explain his dumbness.

He has run the engine back then, all went well, hence not a peep from him. His story of it overheating then was rubbish, a lie.

His car wasn't ready so he put the engine to the back of his shed.

A year later the car is ready for the engine. He thinks he'd better give it a run.

Oh no it overheats. He takes it apart and finds the cooling system full of crud. (as it would be if bare clean cast iron was exposed to salt water for a year).

Relises his mistake in  putting salty ground water in the engine and seeks to trick me into thinking it was rusty when he got it In a effort to extract money from me to pay for his stupidity.

Hence this is why it took him a year to tell me about this overheating BS and why he will not give any information on what he put in the engine.

A big Thankyou to Google Earth. The average person's spy satellite.

So I think what you see in the photos is salt water damage over the period of a year without the engine being started.

Salt water would explain the pitting in the brass and crystal growth on the cast iron.

What a tosser, not just for making a mistake but for trying to put the blame onto someone else and trying to get money from them.

Beware of scammers.

Thanks everyone for your inputs.
