RE: Flushing Cooling System...?s
If your lowering the runnin temp your accelerating engine wear ,FACT anyone with any mechanical savvy will tell you all engine wear is caused before the engine reaches it's optimal temp' so why lower the temp, thats another myth, what "water wetter" mean is it raises the boiling point. Just like eythol antifreeze, does exactly the same thing
yes i did copy and paste the script, but you said it lubs', lubs what???????? there' s nothing to lub' in the cooling system
next you'll be telling me you put it in the cental heating system of your home to lube the boiler what aload of trash!!!!
and while your at it lub the taps on the basin too hahahahahahahaha,
realisticly they are gimmics just like so called octane booser
distilled water and antifreeze 50/50 will last you longer and you'll have no problems with your cooling system.. oh and it's cheaper toooooooooooooo!!!!

here's an article from a guy with a phd in heat transfer. he addresses your statements about lowering running temps and increasing the boiling point

everyone can argue all day and i'm sure it won't change your opinion on this. so that's all i have to say... you guys can use whatever you want. it's not my problem. just don't crash in front of me on the track if you're running antifreeze.

actually water wetter is like $7 for 12 oz...you use roughly 4 capfuls for the whole cooling sytem...so it can last you a long long time...distilled water is very cheap. so together, much cheaper than coolant.
no you don't run it if you live in freezing climate areas.
i'm not a mechanic, i'm an avid enthusiast...i get my tricks, info, etc. from riders, racers and other DIY people. but i know enough to take great care of my bike...and a 40K, she still runs strong and great...only cooling problem i've had has been attributed to air bubbles and busted cooling fins...
how about i send you the rest of yipperzz bottle to test it out? i don't think you've ever tried it...ever...so why not run it and see what it does for you before you bash it?
i won't tell you what to do to your house or anything of the like...i really couldn't care less...
yes octane booster is a load of crap...i agree with you there.

it doesn't matter mang...because you don't need spilled antifreeze to make you crash at the track...LOL...

but yeah. i already crash on my own, so don't give me another reason to crash.
and save me a few cap-fuls for the new bike and i will gladly donate the rest of my bottle to him to try out.

no, we're in socal, just water and water wetter.
regardless of what you choose to use, just make sure you make and informed decision and be very indifferent with it until you see it for yourself as to what works and what doesn't.

if you live in cold temps i wouldn't use what we do. it never gets colder than 65 out here. i've never used engine ice before but if it doesn't freeze, that could be a good alternative. even water/antifreeze/ww can still be cooler than water/antifreeze alone.

yea water wicks away heat the best but water itself doesn't have the nice lubricating properties that WW provides...so i'd use some water wetter with it as some cheap insurance...or else your seals and sea lions in your system and other stuff that need some lubricating may be hurting later.
