Liquid Copper
Bar's Leaks reformulated its Liquid Copper Block Seal, No. 1109, to make it a one-step copper block seal; simply pour it into the radiator, idle the engine for five minutes, cool, top off with coolant and go. Other products require a complete system flush, plus a number of additional steps, with an average six to 10 hour timeline for completion. Customers using other products also have to add new coolant, which adds to the cost of the repair. Liquid Copper can be used in any water-cooled vehicle. |
