I am really curious what running the evans coolant would do. Here is
their response when I asked about the cooling capacity of the
coolant vs. water:
"water will better dissipate heat. That's a given, but the thing
about even a 50/50 mix, water will still create vapor barriers in
the motor due to the internal metal temps. Our coolant does not
allow the coolant to turn to steam pockets like water does. Ours
stays a liquid and pulls much more heat from internal metals, which
in turn, lowers internal temps. Our coolant does not generate
pressure as well. The only thing generating pressure in the system
is the water pump. So there is no wear on gaskets or seals as well
as the hoses are not subjected to the high pressure either. "Have something to add on this topic today? Revive this thread in the forum »
