Well that's my powerplant as she sits under the hood of my 88 B2200. I guess we got twins.

Hey Mr. Cuss, my wife's Nissan Frontier has a problem with a slow freon leak & I remember I saw in one of your posts that when you were a mechanic, you had great success stories with some stuff that you use to add to a/c systems to seal a leak.
Is Red Angel the stuff you use?

NO. NEVER. NEVER use a stop leak product, AC sealer, or any refrigerant containing a sealer. There is no miracle in a can for AC, sorry.

Mechanic will NOT work on a system that's had sealer in it, will RUIN their expensive equipment, so they test for that.

Use UV dye, electronic sniffer, soap bubbles, and/or visual examination for oily residue to find the leak, and then repair the leak, evacuate, and re-fill with correct amount of refrigerant by weight.

AC work is significantly more involved than stuff like installing a radiator, water pump, etc.

Well stick a feather in my cap & call it macaroni! I thought it was you that used Red Angel.
It must have been Bar's leak head gasket sealant that you were so sold on.

Nope. I don't do any "miracles in a can" !!! No oil additives, no carburetor/injector cleaners, etc.
