Default Water wetter and the P650

I heard Ice is good. But that evans NPG+ is non aqueous (no water) and doesn't expand like water does.

It is supposed to be cool stuff, but nobody I have heard of has tried it.

So many cooling problems will go away when we get our stupid ignition fixed.

Nyroc,Engine Ice is a blue liquid,no need to mix with water,has antifreeze in it,it's made by Cyclelogic,$17 for a half gallon ,now the question is"how do I drain all the fluid out of the radiator and engine to add this stuff?

FYI I am a ase cert auto tech and to tell you the truth the absolute best thing in the world for keeping your temp down in an engine is straight water.
Coolant or "anti freeze" is just that anti freeze just a bunch of chemicals put together that you can mix with water to keep it from freezing all that other stuff is just a bunch of chemicals ethalene glycol "anti freeze" also has a rust inhibitor in it also which is the glycol part of it ethalene is a type of alchohol which will not freeze but the glycol dilutes it just enough so its not flamable.
You can use distilled water ( because tap water has calcium and floride and other stuff that will over time clog up coolant passages just like the pipes in your house after about ten years you get that white crust in them same thing with engines or any thing with tap water circulating through it) the distilled water will cool your engine better than water wetter and all that other stuff that cost 50 times more than distilled water only thing is you cant run straight water in cold weather but then you can run coolant and not have to worry about it over heating so in the summer I run distilled water in my atv and race cars.
So IMO water wetter and all that stuff is just a waste of money.
Thanks Doc

Oh yeah about not having the rust inhibitor part of the coolant when you run straight water it wont make any difference in order to have rust you have to have air also rust aka iron oxide you need oxygen/air for the iron to oxide so in a sealed sys it really dont matter also the cooling property's of anti freeze is horrible water probably cools 50 times better than coolant thats why you HAVE to mix anti freeze with water or you would have very deminished cooling property's.
