Exactly, I'm only running about a 30-35% mix of anitfreeze right now.

 

What radiator is that? How much do those run? Bolt in replacement?

I've been online these past few days looking at AFCO radiators. The stock core measures 22" across, but I notice the Koyo/Fluidyne radiators are 26". How do those fit? Can't you get an 24"x19" AFCO radiator and use it since it would be easier to mount? Granted, the outlet is on the drivers side, but that's not a big deal.


Plain water cools better than antifreeze. Antifreeze only raises the boiling point by 18 degrees or so. Plain water boils at 248F at 14psi. That is soo far past the temperature limit of our motors that it will almost never happen. So why try to raise the BP even higher. Even if there is no coolant pressure, we all know water boils at 212F. That's still too dang hot for these motors. If you're boiling the water, take the motor out.
Yes, the waterpump needs lubrication as well as the entire system needing anti-corrosion protection. But I swear I saw something in the store for just that. Mabye I'm wrong. Bad memory.

 

Bcool, you want a tarus fan?

 

Nope, i have 2 of them laying around the shop. If you notice in the picture i just dumped the money into that flex-a-lite setup. I would have tried using one of my taurass fans but the engine sits too close to the radiator for me to use it.

 

Cool. Make sure you get a nice fat ground on those fans and ground it to the frame.
