Is thier any danger of the oil in and on a heat exchanger catching fire (a little freaky seeing smoke rising out of the engine bay)? I am getting ready to change the push rod tube seals hence the oil and HE's.
thanks Elliott |

Seemed to work well, but there was still some residual smoke. Also, I had my exchangers off the car when I did this (also was replacing my pushrod tube seals and checking valve clearances). |
