Not so good vibrations.Vibration: It comes in the form of a working engine, the jarring bumps of rugged terrain, the terrific concussion of missile firing. When you add all that to the temperature changes that come from the engine heating up and cooling down, it's no wonder the radiator filler neck bolts on some MLRS MLRS Multiple Launch Rocket System (US DoD) MLRS Multiple Launcher Rocket System MLRS Marine Corps Long-Range Study (US DoD) carriers are starting to loosen. Antifreeze antifreeze, substance added to a solvent to lower its freezing point. The solution formed is called an antifreeze mixture. Antifreeze is typically added to water in the cooling system of an internal-combustion engine so that it may be cooled below the freezing point expands as it gets hot. So if those four bolts loosen, coolant coolant (kōō´l  nt),n can blow out from under the plate. If you lose enough antifreeze, the engine will overheat o·ver·heat v. o·ver·heat·ed, o·ver·heat·ing, o·ver·heats v.tr. 1. To heat too much. 2. To cause to become excited, agitated, or overstimulated. v.intr. . Check the bolts once a month or so to make sure they stay tight. Report loose bolts to your mechanic. He'll torque 'em to 264-288 lb-in. |
