Thanx Bill ;

I'm always interested in learning new things .

One of my first Diesel Coupes was a N/A that had been allowed to sit for several years with tap water in it after the Evil Servo cracked , it rusted out the water pump , welch plugs in the block and all those damn steel tubes used to pipe the coolant around under the hood , the alloy thermostat housings (both) , the radiator and on and on.....

When the heater matrix developed a pin hole leak that would grease up the windshield in less than 24 hours , I gave up .

it never ran hot nor overheated , not even in Death Valley with the AC (yes , I learned how to make Evil Klima I work well) cranked up all the way so I used the non pressure radiator cap from a '49 Chevy and sold the damned thing at a dead loss ,the next owner thought it wonderful .

If it's o.K. , I'd like to hear everyone's comments and thoughts on various coolants and why .
