And don't forget, that antifreeze in abt a 50/50 solution brings your boiling
temperature up (actually, your coolants temp!!). It gets up to 117 degrees
here (Phoenix) in the shade- THERE IS NO SHADE in the desert!! The mechanics
in our motor pool (in a state agency) strongly recommend using distilled water
in your radiator; this greatly minimizes the mineral deposits. Especially
important if you've just rebuilt your engine, had the block and head cleaned,
and had your radiator cleaned or replaced. Bob K in PHX
