OK time for some what it is not hints
It is hard and would not bounce like rubber as Hylton suggests
Does sponge bob eat licorice? Not today anyway
Not off a Subie, but about to go in one. No, Brockie, it is not a new polariser
Application is that it is made to be crumbled before use
Hmmm, it may have some mud in it like um heavy mud used to plug the sea oil well

Ooh, Hylton, I dunno what bentonite is but, I guess I gotta give it to you. It goes in cooling system and is designed to seal cracks in heads and blocks and maybe even radiators.
I have a problem with heads that had been checkd and refaced, on assembly and warm up effin steam triclin' out zaust. I have a trusted machine shop guy who has been using these for some time. His first try was an old Corolla with a visible crack on top of the head. Crumbled up and added at operating temp then run it at above normal op temp (as you do with chem i weld) and he watched as the crack sealed from one end to the other. He was sold and still is. A mate of his runs some race car months apart and the copper head gaskets don't seal too well during storage and starts up blowing steam, shoves one of these in and all sorted 'til next race meet. Called Seal Well, cannot find anything on google at all.
Just been in to retenson my head gaskets before use. Found after initial warm up and a week to cool down the head bolts were at spec. Did not do the wanky loosen up and reoil as suggested in the manuals this time

Ran the bugger to op temp, with cardboard in front of the fan got it up to 95 and took it around the block approx 1 km or 5/8 mile. Too chicken to drive it any further due to the amount of steam spewing out the back concerned I will cook me motor trying some cheap fix, steam pockets and all. Clouds of brown steam disipating immediately, school bus and kids everywhere just lookin' ! Got it back cooled her down and still unable to open the cap so left it, expecting to see its level way down needing a decent top up tomorrow.
Snuck a peek at it now 6 hours later and the water level is full.
If this steam is from water in the exhaust from the previous engine blowin's steam - my nephews are monkies. How much steam can come from residual water in exhaust? Maybe parking it has done some good? Will check the timing and take for another run when the donut shop opens up in the morning

I have about 2800 sacks in our P-Tanks at the moment if anyone wants some :D:D

Started her up ths morn, idling away with a little bit a steam or was it just noraml exhaust? Set timing to 16 BTDC instead of 20 it is supposed to be for petrol (US speak - gas) found it was on about 24 or 25 from my initial drop dizzy in and 25 thou feeler gauge trick fires every time after fitting this way.
I had to cover rad completely with cardboard, haldf or three quarters cobverd was not enoough. Got it to run at 98 to 102 C on my digital metal temp gauge which is about three quarters on the dash gauge. I'd guess if you hit the red bit you have been blowing off water via a good pressure cap for last 5mm of gauge. get to red you frqd your engine is my guess.
Slowly , s;owly, steam stopped blowing under boost, and at idle and normal cruising over about 15km or so round and round the 'hood incase I need to push her home.
Time will tell
