[QUOTE="SnakeBit, post: 15592213, member: 2522"] One more point. It is the water in the radiator/block that cools the engine, not the antifreeze. I run more water and less coolant (70% water/30% coolant). If you think the antifreeze cools the engine better, try running a 100% antifreeze. OTOH, 100% water will work great for a while, but antifreeze is needed to lubricate the water pump and prevent corrosion inside the block. If you have problems with the radiator getting clogged up, try using purified water instead of tap water. Here in the Atlanta area, my tap water has minerals which can build up deposits inside the block and radiator, like cholesterol. Besides, it's cheap insurance. And in my experience, overheating may ruin the thermostat. Every time in the past I have overheated, I end up replacing the thermostat. Besides, it's cheap insurance. [/QUOTE]
