Danny, I would agree with you that this method is only good for a small area. Luckily, that's all I had but I will point out that you have to stop the water peneration along with the fixing the soft spot.

Thanks

I need a little insight! I have a great '73 F36. It's in the water after six months of restoration work. Now I find that the starbaord engine runs warm 180-200. Port engine idles as 160. I have checked the interal water pump on the engine. the raw water pump (Sherwood G7B) flow, replaced the coolant...
