[TR] water wetter

[wayne at motorcarriage.com (Wayne Lee)]

The temperature will still be regulated by the Thermostat. Water Wetter or
not. It will just be a little more capable of reducing the temp if given
access to the radiator.

I guess that depends on whether lowering cylinder temperatures is a Good
Thing.  From what I have read, internal combustion engines are actually more
efficient running at higher temperatures (part of the reason that 'smog'
engines use 195F thermostats) and that we only accept 180F as "normal"
because the coolant is primarily water.
