Re: overheating
oh and dont use tap water in your radiator. will make stuff corrode, even when its mixed with anti freeze, use distilled water, one gallon distilled water to one gallon antifreeze. if you mix it make sure its not the kind thats already pre mixed. and mix it before putting it into the radiator

Re: overheating
actually durring the summer i run a 70/30 water/antifreeze mix. water has far better heat transfer properties and therefore can absorb more heat. durring the winter i switch back to a 50/50 mix.

Re: overheating
i thought it was the other way around. somewhere I read that you shouldn't use distilled water.i thought it was a little odd to recommend against water that is more pure. i don't know if the author was confused (it was from a reputable company, like chevyhiperformance or something) or what.
Anyway... i've never bothered with it, I just use the stuff from the water hose.
