Kees, Thanks for the input. My BJ8 is not overheating but does tend to run
warm if stuck in traffic. I was interested in it from the perspective that it
is a permanent product that supposedly eliminates corrosion. Your point
regards heat transfer is well taken and scaring me off. Not that hard to
change out the 50/50 mix every other year. Thanks again! Terry '64 BJ8
