I do not know what in the world happened to my images, but I put them back!

This was my first test:

I sealed a funnel in one hole, put a rubber stopper in the other, and neither heater core leaked. I left them for hours.

This was my first test:

I sanded down a Schrader valve, put it in one hole, put a rubber stopper in the other, held them in place with mending braces, and used a bike pump to pressurize the heater core to 16 PSI, what the cooling system is rated.

Both leaked out within a few minutes.

I may have lost my images inexplicably, but the explanation was still there!
