[Healeys] Coolant

[rwil at sbcglobal.net]

Just to stir the pot a bit more:
  Perhaps the reason that Water Wetter sometimes results in brown gunk
appearing in the coolant is that it cleans out the passages in the
block or radiator and it is that loosened gunk that is seen.  Maybe
the reason that it does not always happen is that some folks start
with a really clean cooling system.

wetter?

without the aforementioned controlled experiments.
