Skullz Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I can see something going on if it were tap water in the engine and anything but brass freeze plugs but now that you have the brass ones you'll be set for many years without having to worry about them.

Jbabycsx Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I use this process to take rust off of parts for my Camaro and I have to use baking soda for the process to work. How would it happen in a cooling system without it? Just curious.

jmitch Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 unless u have current going INTO ya cooling system there is no electrolysis. now if u do SOMEHOW have electrolysis going on i wouldnt be worrying about just freeze plugs but everything that is being touched by the liquid. get another opinion from another shop and see what they say.

Soapbox Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) It's highly doubtful you are causing the problem with the electrical. A couple of things I would suggest is to use Deionized water to mix with the coolant and switch the type of metal. Which I have seen you have already done one of the two. Some metals oxidize faster than others and are more conducive to corrosion. An good example is aluminum and a oxygen rich environment. Most likely the plugs were inferior metal. I could ask some of the electrical engineers at work if you would like. By the way I am an civil engineer and the courses I've taken would lead me to the above comments. Moreover, prior to my engineering degrees I was also a pipe fitter for 14 years. In my experience 95% of the time corrosion is caused from an oxygen rich environment and chemical reactions not electrical reactions!
