n August of the hot summer of 2019 (aren?t they all hot now?) I put Evans i=
n a Tiger which has an excellent two row aluminum radiator in front of a ra=
ther stock 289. My wife and I put the Tiger through an almost 5-thousand mi=
le road test by driving from Los Angeles to La Crosse via I80/I90 to attend=
 the TEAE United and then Route 66 on the way home. Temperatures were frequ=
ently at 100 degrees. So it got quite a test.<br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; <br>=
&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; The Evans did not boil but with hot outside air tempe=
ratures its inferior specific heat (to water) could not remove adequately r=
emove the engine heat. <br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; =
The carb got so hot the fuel percolated (boiled) inside the bowls and the e=
ngine stalled lean. This weakness was exacerbated at altitudes above 4-thou=
sand feet. In Pueblo, with OATs near 100 I ended up on the same AAA tow tru=
ck twice on the same day. I then gave up and reluctantly drained maybe half=
 of the the costly coolant out, replacing it with plain water so I could ge=
t home. However the percolation reoccurred crossing the Mojave in the 115 d=
egree August temps. At home I replaced the Evans with water, adding Water W=
