Evans WATERLESS Coolant

[Excaliber]

Chas, I don't know why you remain in denial that this steam pocket theory is highly likely,if not out right fact (which I believe it is). Perhaps you could offer a better explanation of the relationship between pre-ignition, blown head gaskets (many of which have been reported here, hmmm) and warped heads with an elevated engine temperature?

"We", this Cobra group, are a very small fraction of the rest of the automotive world. What has or hasn't been reported here doesn't mean much considering the size of the automotive world. My car is not some weekend warrior or show car, I drive it, and drive it hard. I've had it long time, put a lot of miles on it and that won't change in the future. Stuff happens out there in the real world. To date, I haven't had any trouble with overheating issues or damage to speak off, probably won't. But this Evan's technology offers a lot of potential protection on many levels, in my opinion. Following the Cobra, I plan to run it in every vehicle (including my bikes) that I own. Yeah, I think it's thats good!

The temp sensor went out on my Suzuki 650 a few weeks ago, fan never came on. I didn't notice the temp gauge until it was off the chart HOT HOT HOT!!! The bike seem's to be OK, no damage that I can tell, sure wish I had been running Evan's in it when that happened!!! Had a nice puddle of green fluid at my feet when I pulled over... Evans would have been cheap at twice the price right about then.

Ernie, tell me again what heat related problem it is that you are experiencing?

To correct your first sentence: a theory is not a fact. Steam formation is a fact-it is NOT 'highly likely' in my and apparently the forum's experience. Blown gaskets reported here are virtually all caused by improper gasket choice/construction/installation, poor machining or porosity of block or head surfaces. The gasket breach causes the coolant (or oil) loss which then could cause steam formation. NO coolant will prevent that once the gasket is breached.

I'll make this is as simple as I can: I do not deny that these scientific occurrences can exist. I have had the experience that in 25 years of driving and racing the same Cobra with two different engines and states of tune-that I have not had ANY such occurrences. The group of approximately 40 other Cobras in my region have had no reported failures of head gaskets or pre-ignition related problems. Nor have any of my street cars suffered these failures in 45 years of driving them.

The primary causes of pre-ignition are improper timing and poor fuel. We've all figured out how to avoid this. As has the majority of this forum. Yet you and the Professor continue to pontificate on the ease and frequency of these dreaded failures.

So like the OEM's and most aircraft users have figured out-there's no practical need for this 'savior' coolant. It may be a neat scientific chemical but I have repeatedly stated that what I've used for decades has served perfectly-and my standard-bore block is NOT a moth-eaten rusty hulk because of these materials.

I really hope this horse is dead now.

Proof by verbosity doesn't work that way. There is sure to be a steady stream of anecdotal testimony once the coolant is up and running.

Not that scientific evidence and facts have anything to do with this discussion, but if one were interested, there are a number of SAE papers out there for one to read.

ERA, Embarrased? hardly. The only thing I find embarrasing is your constant name calling and personal attacks in this discussion.

If all the stuff I've outlined is insignificant, then why is it standard practice to hot-tank a block and heads prior to rebuild? We all know why.

Like I said do as you wish, but don't think your rant is any more viable to me than mine is to you. At this point you and I are just trading blows, so I won't be responding to any more of your comments and word twisting.

Ernie, I think you'll be happy with your choice to go with the Evens.

Great-and I'm done too. Ernie, when you test the "Evens'(sic), please be sure to inform Ron how it works in an FE Cobra. He still doesn't know.
