Avoid the problem entirely, snap out of it, come to your senses and stick
with Castrol GT LMA.

Flush out your system by using your Gunson E Z Bleed to replace the present
fluid with fresh Castrol GT LMA.

The only advantage I know to the silicone is that it does not eat paint like
Castrol.

I had more adventures than I care to remember trying to get that stuff to
work in my Midget.  Never again.  I use LMA in all my cars, British and
Yank.
