It surprised me to read in the manual of my Renault that in areas where temperatures might go below freezing you should use antifreeze. Then I read it again recently in the manual for a brand of trucks made in China.
Saturday I pulled the engine out of my Renault and took it apart. Here is a block that has been welded (from the outside) with the remaining crack in the inside, plus the cracked bridge that allowed the cylinder sleeves to become ovaled, scraping the pistons. Also a good look at the rusted water pump that would have been incapable of circulating much water.
