I have to just keep telling myself, hey it's an $800 truck, so what's a little water now and then.

i am pretty stoked that it worked. i figure that if it kills the engine, the repair is nearly as expensive as getting a good core. so screw it. and it does seem to be working.

my disco has had the usual issues for an 18 year old truck that has been abused off road and such. the big repairs were new head gaskets at 120K, new suspension all around (did i mention that i abuse this thing off road), a power steering pump that grenaded, a water pump (which was a piece of cake), and a power steering box (probably from abusing the truck off road). and it drives really nice.

yes, i get that. i was totally reluctant to put this into anything, but see the above. AND subaru was warrantying their engines for an extra 100k miles, as long as they put this stuff in, before or after a failure was detected....
i am not arguing with you at all. i would NEVER put this kind of product in the 951. but the subaru i really don't care about. i just need it to run for another year.
