I picked up a copy of Drive!, a free news/mag on hotrods and classic
cars at a local dealership last week. There is an article in it on
keeping hotrods cool. The article was not an "ad" and was written by a
guy who builds hot rods for a living. One suggestion was to use:
"Evans' Non-Acqueous Propylene Glycol (NPG) protects an engine by
controlling the operating temperature of the hot spots in each cylinder.
Water-based systems generate a steam or vapor blanket which diminishes
the ability of water to extract and move heat to the radiator. Due to
its high (369-degree-F) boiling point and low surface tension, NPG
covers all areas in the coolant passages, removing heat and controlling
the metal temperature 100% of the time. This totally eliminates
detonation and overheating. In addition, it is non-toxic,
non-corrosive, low pressure (7 lbs), provides winter protection to -72
degrees F, and has an operating life of 300,000 miles."
Anyone have any experience with this product??
Other suggestions in the article included using a full fan shroud,
coolant recovery tank, oil cooler and coating your headers.
