I use Redline WW . I just about had the temps. under control before =
trying
it and found that it helped on hot days.  The coolant temperature rising
towards my redline at 100C less rapidly. No freezing problem here. Tip.
Don't use a thermostat.

=3D=3D=3D>  Thanks for the comments on the Water Wetter additive.  It's =
been a
while since I've seen the thermostat topic discussed.  I know that =
several
of you like Ed, and maybe Ian, Tracy, etc, had tried running with and
without thermostats.  Is there a consensus of which cools the best? =20

I planned to install a normal 180 thermostat, in fact I just tested it =
on
the stove to make sure it worked, but now you've got me thinking about
whether I should put it in. Of course if I don't, I have to plug that =
hole
somehow.  Can that be done with the housing bolted in place on the =
engine? =20

For my initial attempt, especially since I'm using two water/oil =
exchangers,
I want maximum cooling.  If I should be so lucky as to have too much =
cooling
(yeah, right), then I'll certainly have options to reduce the efficiency =
of
the system. =20

Thanks in advance for any thermostat advice.  I was just about to =
install
the thing, but maybe I'll hold off a couple days. =20

Cheers,
Rusty
