since you are operating where coolant is prohibited,,,,you should flush your engine often,,,use pure distilled water...with no coolant the internal engine surfaces get coated with slime/corrosion deposits...perhaps there is a product the racers use to keep your engine from this,,, that is permitted..

after installing a thermostat bleed several times to get the air out..
