Using it in a coolant to oil leak would be a problem but thankfully they are rare.

My 70's International Harvester back hoe manual has a procedure to clean sodium silicate out of the oiling system ( when liner o rings leak ) .

I wonder if the cash clunkers engines were really damaged, the SS would tend to jam things up rapidly and might not have damaged the crank. X$#*^&#$!$#%##$# Liberals taking a good chunk of usable cars out of the mix and hurting low income people that survive on sub $ 2,000 cars. . .
