Water Wetter

I've heard of several individuals here using it, and by all accounts it works as advertised.

It's all I use during the summer in both the '69 Mustang and the '68 Ranchero. They went from running hot (overheating) to running warm. Straight water wetter and distilled water.

Both engines are .060" overbores and run extremely hot if I use half prestone/half water. Flushed the entire system and ran the other. Night and day. Course you HAVE to switch back to half and half if there's even the slight chance the block could freeze during the winter. I do it to the Mustang even though it get's parked all winter. I'm not taking the chance. Not with ~$9000 between the two motors.

Thanks for the info. What about just adding the little bottle to my current cooling system? It looks to be about a pint or a quart.

I would really only use it when you need the extra cooling. That's just me though. I don't see any benefit during the winter in making your radiator fluid run even cooler.

That is what your thermostat is for? No?

I put it in my '96 3.8.. It makes it run a "needle width" cooler.. Chuck (in SC)

Ah yes. What WAS I thinking. Man I was Soooooo tired when I typed that. I'm running on about 10 hours sleep over the last 5 days. Half of it last night.

Some Muther Fugger swiped my wallet the other day so I've been covering my ass and not sleeping from the stress, on top of the holidays and getting my ass kicked at work.

I wouldn't go over .030 overbore on a small block

Had an SVO with traffic/ idle temp climb problems, slow climb but ALWAYS when outside temp over 80 deg... added it, problem went away.

It works excellent. I have it in my Cobra and my truck. It won't change the temp of your coolant, that's controlled by the thermostat and radiator. Assuming they are working correctly. What it does is allow more efficient transfer of heat to and from the coolant. What it will do is lower your cylinder head temps and prevent detonation. Go to their web site and read up on it.

How about using distilled water along with the antifreeze to lessen the chances of mineral build-up in the engine and rad?

I wouldn't use anything BUT distilled water if water is being used. I'd never use plain tap water, maybe reverse osmosis is ok, but I'm not sure.
