So now that I've got the proper antifreeze in my newly o-ringed old goldwing and have been reading all of the stories about antifreeze types I'm stirring the pot for everyone!! ;-)
I have a 12 cylinder Jag roadster and it always runs warm. In the summer the gauge may not stop rising until you pull off the pedal and feed it fewer b.t.u's.
One day when it was 110 degrees and I had three extreme mountain passes to climb I when to the local Napa and bought some voodoo water called 'water wetter'. Because the engine has a huge cooling capacity I added two containers instead of the typically required one container then proceeded on my way.
The temp gauge was pegged on normal AND I was not restraining the deflections of the gas pedal. I can highly recommend the use of this product. Any person, especially those of us with older wings with a little too much bone medicine in their rad cores may want to try it out. It works by coating the super hot spots (along the water passages) in the head with something that stops gas pockets from forming. The Jag is for sale but, any whoo, I'm a believer in the pretty pink voodoo water! Jim
