Title: Question re Lubricating your pipe..
Post by: London_Phil on April 07, 2020, 08:44:59 PM
Sorry Nick, liked your title, so apologies for stealing the style.

Doing a coolant change on the XC. Noted some weeping between the main coolant steel pipe and the rubber hose.
My Dad used to clean the steel, and put a thin smear of Blue Hylomar (the non setting stuff) on the joints on his various cars, over the years.
Never had a leaking issue, and never had problems with removing the hose x-years later.

Anyone have an opinion on steel/rubber interfacing?

Continuing the innuendo theme... are you sure there are no cracks in your pipe?

No Cracks, but the pipe clamp wasn't particularly tight.
Bike doesn't use water, but once seen, I want to make sure its fine.
Probably just nip it up a bit once flushed and refilled.
Going to take the opportunity to dismount the Rad, and check the Regulator, so probably end up attending to most of the clamps..
