I have to replace the central freeze plug in the engine block just behind the exhaust manifolds. It was so much corroded that the cooling water was spilling out through a hole. Unfortunatelly I canno

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

What should be For California, use only distilled water without coolant as you have a non-sealed system. I recently heard of a source of stainless steel freeze plugs, but the address eludes me. I dis

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

You are still missing the corrosion inhibitors and water pump lube. I maintain that this is not a good idea. I believe that you are misinformed with regard to the lowering of boiling points by coolan

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

I may have missed something here but I don't think this will work on a T series with a non-pressurised cooling system. If it can be made to work easily I'd love to hear more. Cheers ___ \______ Ross
