With reference to Rg {Mr Rowledge} 5/LW7.1.27.

We have tested 4 cylinders - 3 of which were filled 6" from the bottom and frozen solid twice, and 1 completely filled and frozen solid.

In no case was there a subsequent water leak nor did the jackets appear to have suffered in any way during the test.
