[Healeys] overheating

[Richard Ewald]

I also live in LA. I know the water.  My point is your cooling system hold
about gallons of fluid.  If you were to boil 2 gallons of hard tap water dry
how much minerals would you have?  A couple of grams maybe?  No way in he'll
that that amount of minerals would clog a radiator. Now the iron water
passages corroding? THAT will clog a radiator.

very hard.  Lots of mineral content.  Just boil some water in a pot an see the
white residue left behind.  Let the sprinklers hit your nice polished car and
you've got a lot of white spots on your paint.  I think that minerals
percepitate out of hot water and can, over time, clog up a radiator or just
coat the water passages making heat transfer more difficult.
