Here's a head-scratcher for you. A 72 Ford Pinto set exactly to factory specs.
With 70% antifreeze in the cooling system, it pings like crazy. Drain it
and fill it with 50% (or less), and it stops pinging. In both cases, the temp 
gauge read exactly 180 degrees. 

>>Lessee, I'll say that the water is a better sound
     insulator, and with a higher % of water in the cooling
     system, you just don't hear the engine ping. Right ?
