Nope. You'll be fine. A "water cooled" center section would best be termed as "coolant cooled" . Just make sure you have zero water leftover in the system before you use the Evans. They are not compatible.

Also use a zero pressure cap with Evans coolant.

You realy got to do a search on Evans. Tons of material to read. I've been using evans for alot of years with no problems in my FD. Infact, I was one of the first persons to use it in a rotary, thanks to Rob at Pinepple Racing. CJ

I ran my water err coolant cooled single for years with Evans, no problems, no corrosion, just smells funny when you drain it.
