- Are you measuring the actual diameter of the old plug to get 48 mm? It may well be that a 1 7/8" plug is correct. When they are installed, you whack the dome with a hammer, which expands the edge sli

- That is simply nonsense. 50/50 mix of antifreeze has a HIGHER boiling point than plain water. Maybe what you are thinking of is that 50/50 mix of antifreeze has less heat conductance than plain water

- It is a good idea to put in an overflow reservoir in older cars. When the system heats up the cap will bleed off excess coolant if the radiator is over-filled when cold. When it cools air is sucked

- Pure water will not contain lubricants and rust inhibitors that are in good quality anti freeze. These would have to be added separately. Moreover, I believe that a 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water

- If I remember correctly, the coolant mix has a higher boiling point than water, but it doesn't transfer heat as effectively (lower heat capacity? can't remember). Thus, your engine will run slightly
