I run Evans and am happy with it. It is imperative to remove ALL water from the entire system, before installing it. I, of course drained my cooling system. Removed the thermostat, pulled the block water jacket plugs, and then attached my shop vacuum to the water inlet, reversed to blower, and blew high pressure air through everything for several hours, spaced out over three days. Figured I'd make every effort since I was spending about $40/gal. The engine still runs plenty hot (230*-240* F), but now I don't worry about it. Evans was my last resort, after numerous efforts including different thermostats, no thermostat, water wetter, new, huge radiator with super fan and shroud, larger crank pulley, head gaskets, disassembled the water pump to ensure the impeller was not spinning on the shaft, smooth bore radiator hoses, timing and jetting changes, different gauge and sending unit. I'm totally stumped so went with Evans and now don't worry about it. (at least not as much and don't have any puking)
