Having just had the unpleasent experiance of a cracked head on
our Isuzu Trooper in January, I can safely say that water in the
oil results in a grey appearance. If allowed to sit, the water
will settle out and the oil will look black. We discovered the problem
as I had to keep adding coolant, yet there was no leaking of
coolant on to the ground, etc.

Subject: SOL File Archive Servers - Update
This is an updated info file on the British Cars File Servers- Please read
and save for reference. -Roger Garnett
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Files on the British-cars file servers and how to get them: Rev. 5/5/93 RG
This file is posted to the list Lucas fashion- randomly.
The file servers are machines where various archives and articles of
interest are stored. You may get copies via "anonymous FTP", or by E-mail.
-----
A) FTP
If your machine has an internet connection, and runs the file transfer
program FTP, you've got what you need. Read your local manual/help on
using FTP.
1) Run FTP on your local machine, opening a connection to
hoosier.cs.utah.edu (155.99.208.5)
2) Logon as user "anonymous", and use your name as the password.
3) Change to directory /pub/sol. (cd /pub/sol)
4) You may list the files using FTP's dir or ls commands to see files.
5) Set the file type to binary using the binary or image command if
you're going to get something other than plain text files.
(Like GIF's, or programs)
6) Use get or mget to one or multiple files.
7) Exit with the bye or quit command when done.
-----
B) E-Mail server
Can't run FTP? If you can send and receive mail, you may also retreive
archives via an E-Mail server run by TJ Higgins. There are many more
seperate
articles in the misc directory of this server thanon hoosier.
To get instructions, send E-mail to:
ARPA'ish: server@ingr.com
or
UUCP'ish: ...!uunet!ingr!server
with the word "help" as the subject. (In the mail header) The server will
then send you the help file. (To your From: or Reply-To: address).
The SOL files are in the drectory pub2/sol/misc, pub2/sol/pic, and
pub2/sol/digest.
-----
C) Hoosier is running an experimental WAIS server. (hoosier.cs.utah.edu,
155.99.208.5 port 210 Databases- sol and autocross). This is a networked
database index/search/retreive system. You can access this if you
have a WAIS client on your local machine.
