<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Forget Evans, expensive and no real
advantages except that it won't boil when the engine overheats
although this allows you to enter the danger zone. Cooling
efficiency is far less than cheap premix coolant which can be
topped up with water in an emergency. And when the coolant boils,
you know instantly the engine overheats!!<br>
Be careful though with the modern non (less) toxic red coolant in
older engines. It may cause havoc with seals and gaskets and
should only be used in modern cars. Use the (slightly) more toxic
blue or green variant which is safe for older classic engines.<br>
You cannot cure cooling problem by using Evans. You will have to
find the cause and rectify it.<br>

<div>My experience with Evans coolant: We decided to install
it after the engine was completely rebuilt in conjunction
with a full restoration. (BJ8). We felt that it was an
opportune time to do it was with a completely dry cooling
system.. So naturally what happened within the first 200
miles – a failed lower rad hose – brand new, and a kevlar
one at that. Not the coolant’s fault, but it illustrated an
important objection to the stuff – the cost of replacing the
amount that was lost, approx. half, which I did.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ran it until a couple of months ago when we had to get
into the engine again to make some ‘corrections’, so about 4
years total. I decided to go back to regular antifreeze /
water coolant. (I used the less toxic polypropylene
stuff). The Evans has to be thoroughly cleaned out of the
system with a good proper flush when doing this.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The engine ran fine with the Evans in it – no overheating
problems, no bad smells, no difficulties. The big advantage
is that it simply won’t boil, even if it gets very hot. In
my opinion, he best thing that can be done for a big Healey
cooling system is to use a more efficient radiator core –
either re-core an original radiator, or get a new aluminum
radiator – I’m told that the Wizard works very well by
people who know Healeys.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My advice – stay with regular coolant, the Evans simply
isn’t worth it.</div>
