Sweet, sweet glycol

Its the same for methanol drinkers.  Its all about metabolites.  The ethanol takes the place in the metabolic cycle and stops the methanol / glycol being metabolised into something nasty.  In the mean time your body does a pretty good job of getting rid of it, then you have to sober up.

Hope you are ok and your kidney is in one piece. You are not the only one to get a mouth full of coolant trying to bleed the system but you are the only one I know that drank it!

Buy a cheap fluid extractor saves a trip to A&E  LOL

good work how's it driving now? cams ok?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Cams make a big difference tick over is lumpy but steady make it sound like a muscle car, Feels quicker but it's been that long since I drove it who knows, Going to do a fuel learn session this afternoon to check fuelling Not going to mess with ignition until I have a lot more miles on the engine but it is currently set very low

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Just a little update,

engine is running strong got around 300 miles on the clock and carried out a oil and filter change nearly killed myself with coolant sent a few logging sessions to peter and a few fuel learn sessions,

idle is good even when icey outside but a little lumpy but i would expect this due to cams,

below 2000 RPM i am getting cam overlap which has got a little better with a good fuel learn session but i dont think i will eradicate it completely  

 

Overall very happy and it pulls like a train

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

500 miles complete
