RE: coolant
ORIGINAL: krobberts I understand using distilled water, that's always been a best practice for me, but I am just trying to figure out what happens if the fluid is to slick, and what is meant by the term slick. If the water pump is driven by an outside source, it doesn't seem like there would be anything to slip? |
RE: coolant
yeah, slick is referring to when you crash and dump fluid all over the race track.

RE: coolant
shall i repeat why slick is no good again?
it has nothing to do with the cooling system and everything to do with bananas on the track. |
RE: coolant
haha, thanks Tahoe, that clears it all up. Bananas on the track would definitely make for a bad day. It's all perfectly clear to me now.

RE: coolant
The slick stuff (non-approved for track) is any coolant that contains Ethyl Glycol. Approved stuff for most tracks is water or water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant, such as aPoly-Glycol brand, such as Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Performance, and Engine Ice.

RE: coolant
are we dissing my yeller bike again????:D

RE: coolant
So, the slick factor has absolutely nothing to do with the effect that it has on the engine? Just on what it leaves on the pavement?
|
RE: coolant
Yeah, in the case that you crash, or you happen to leak some. Saves hours for track crew from cleaning up a slick spot, which could potentially make someone else wipe out if they hit it.
And let's not hate on yeller bikes in here! |
