Ive changed water pumps on GM 3800s with as low as 48k miles on them.



A guy from another RX7 forum had 450k miles on his original engined S5 N/A, and was going strong. Until he changed his coolant with dex-cool. I guess it ate through the coolant seals, or the deposits around them causing him to need a rebuild.





my response is always the same:



what is the excuse for all the other rotary engines that get bad coolant seals that were running green coolant?



maybe, after 450k miles, it was just its time

Just seems like a coincidence that soon after the dex-coolant change, the motor springs a leak.

I wouldn't blame that on the dexcool, the motor has 450k miles





Test the pH balance on the old coolant then the dexcool, that's where your answer will be.

Rob x-7 10-22-2005 05:44 PM

so again Ill ask, all the other cars running water, or green coolant that get bad seals, whats thier story?

UniqueTII 10-22-2005 06:57 PM

They're not saying the car just got bad seals. They're saying the problem occurred immediately after the coolant change.



EDIT: If I had a car with 450K I wouldn't do a damn thing differently...that's asking for trouble.
