Acrylics are also water soluble for easier cleanup, as oils require mineral spirits or turpentine, and cheaper than oils....

Coolant leaks are a precursor to a major engine problem, and fixing them should be high-priority. Why? Engine coolant maintains engine operating temperatures in the best range for performance and fuel economy.

If the engine is too hot, fuel may combust on compression instead of spark, detonation, which can cause severe engine damage....
