    You should have had the radiator cap fully closed , as the pressurised the cooling system to fill the crack or gap under pressure . No pressure except for combustion may have pushed it out of leak and not in . Just my way of thinking , i could be wrong .

    • @aussiewalkabout4x4
      @aussiewalkabout4x4 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I'm guessing the pressure pushed the Chemiweld out of the cracks which is why it didn't work

  • @doscwolny2221
    @doscwolny2221 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I dont get the logic, clearly you have piston or oil pressure pushing into the cooling system. Chemiweld is good on the coolant system, but cannot penetrate through where the pressure is coming from. I dont know if there is a fuel or oil additive you can add to your oil or fuel(chambers) Chemiweld would work good if you had water in your oil or piston. Head gasket is your best case scenario.

    It's not the gas canister that gives out when it's freezing cold. It's the little regulator on the gas burner itself it has to be warm to work correctly. I generally put hot boiling water over everything then put my windshield around it so he can still breathe and keep the heating. The hot water is usually inside a thermos flask but enough to warm the regulator element so you can get the fire going and cook breakfast

    Cracked head, would it be possible to replace only the head and head gasket? You said you had to replace the motor, does that mean you're gonna replace the entire engine?! (sorry English is not my native tongue so especially automotive terms can get really tricky to know what you mean)

    Look for a product called Dyna-Grip Seal Tite Coolant Sealer, it's a great product. Flush the system and add it but put the Radiator cap on all the way, I've had really good results with this and it won't block up the Radiator

    • @aussiewalkabout4x4
      @aussiewalkabout4x4 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      my problem is the radiator is getting pressurised by the cracked head and it either blows the hoses off and has actually warped the radiator ... so in my case it needs replacing the head or motor.

    I lived on that property up on the hill back in the late 1970s. You couldn't drive up onto the island and camp there like that back then, as there was a 20 ft high sand embankment, straight of the bridge. We had our motocross track all along the steep river bank further down stream, and could ride our bikes across the river just above the bridge. And we'd ride the horse's across about 30 meters below the bridge. It's changed a lot since I was a kid, there are 4 wheel drive tracks everywhere now. Ernie would have a fit if he saw it now days. The old track across the top of Yates Flat through Alice to the Deadman dip yards, was always fun in the mud and rain on the bikes. 😊 And you could usually catch a few catfish upstream of the island, if you knew where to look.

    Swimming is not advisable at Leichhardt due to saltwater crocodiles inhabiting the river. Be warned crocs have most certainly been found on the top of the falls as well as below (they have legs and can walk you know!).

    • @aussiewalkabout4x4
      @aussiewalkabout4x4 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are several safe spots to swim on top of the falls but the large deep pools are certainly not one of them, plenty of shallow rapids that you could see anything coming from a long way. Crocs can walk but not climb cliffs although it is possible for them to get above the falls in times of big floods so i was careful. Thanks for your comment though. :)
