Subject: Re: 4.5 litre engine problems and upgrades
A brief observation about Evans waterless coolants. I was at Brooklands last weekend competing in the Double 12 and spent a short while looking at a stand selling oil and coolant. classic-oils.net are a retailer of Evans and I notice that their website says about it: -
" NB: Not for use in thermo-syphon systems (ie systems without a water pump), as the lower expansion coefficient of Evans will stop the coolant's circulation."

Now, I appreciate that our engines have a water pump but I don't know that I would want to exclude any possible thermo-syphoning that might take place through a poorly designed circulation system.
Any comments?
