    :banghead: Well tell him to put the camera down and watch for leaks...or do you want to get it on video when the engine locks up because nobody was watching for early signs of trouble?

    water leaks are common on startup...
    I startup with straight water, this way there is no antifreeze mess if a leak...

    gas leak, another story. that is a...SHUT DOWN NOW...situation...:yup:
