Running without antifreeze

[Turk]

Scott,
Not pretending to be an authority or anything and certainly don't have a product to sell. I am not a distributor for Water Wetter.
I trust my own test over anyone else's.

The engine is fixed to a engine run stand in my own driveway. No vairables, no traffic, no stop and go, no shifting. Same RPMs, same place same gasoline and oil. Just sitting there running at 3000 RPM for a perod of time. Timing is not changed, nothing is altered. As I indicated above, I tried all those combinations. I wasn't trying to prove wheteher one was better than the other combinations. I had my engine and was still waiting for ERA to be delivered. I did this for over a period of 3 months. I would do it out of boredom. I would come home from work and just for fun, I would start the engine and listen to it run.

I must have ran 10 gallobs of gas through that thing. It became a joke, my engine builder commented I would have the only engine that needed a valve job BEFORE it got installed in a Cobra.Since I was playing with it, I felt it would be of some value to try out different coolant combinations. That is how I stumbled on to Water Wetter.

Do not fret, my good friend Pat doesn't buy into it either.

Temperature reading taken at the block, and at the headers as well as the fixed SW gauge at the engine stand..

I have no idea about the accuracy of the link you provided. Different than myself, their web site seems to greet you with some cooling products they sell. I sell no such products.

You say you did your own tests. How did you do yours?

Only thing I can not vouch for, if there is any damage to the engine on a long term by not using antifreeze. I don't know if Water Wetter has enough lubricating qualities for the water pump. They say it does.
