No prob, thanks for the heads-up.
I am looking for help and advice, just can't handle incorrect info. Obviously you can't handle being called on giving incorrect info. The following is from the forum rules:
"If someone asks a question, and you are not confident you know the answer, then refrain from posting and let a more qualified person answer it. This is especially important with regards to technical enquiries, as any incorrect information you post may cause harm or injury to others."
The advice that some people give is no better than what is to be expected from a first year apprentice. Even better is your general statement concerning 30 years of head gaskets - sorry master, did you design all of the gaskets over the past 30 years and now you are upset as someone has questioned the effectiveness of one design over another? Of the ten F5A gaskets I have looked at over the past week, there have been five different cooling passage designs - are they all right, or all wrong?? Yep, I did all that first hand research, and yet I still ask for advice. Maybe I should just listen to your BS and pull my head in?
I am far from knowing all the answers, hence me asking SPECIFIC technical questions about an F5A vs F8B on a Mighty Boy forum!! Even though this is my first Suzuki, and am new to this forum that does not mean I am new to the whole concept of cars, mechanics or the internet. Don't worry, I highly doubt I will be asking questions anymore; as above, I cannot handle incorrect information.
But, I guess I do know a little more than you though - your claim that coolant will stop crud build-up is a shining example of how much you don't know. "Coolant" has the same chance of stopping crud and corrosion as plain water does. Just as well you decided to "leave me to it" - there is a chance someone might read your posts and think you are actually providing answers.
