In the case of an emergency, you can add traditional 50/50 coolant to the mix to reach the nearest service station, but you will then need to drain, flush, and refill your system.
EVANS COOLANT CLEANS SYSTEM FULL
For questions involving operating temp, we suggest giving our tech line a call at 88to discuss your specific car and issues. A dirty system that has been running since 1950 will need to be cleaned with system flush before being converted to waterless coolantĮach vehicle is different, and in some cases where the goal is to lower operating temperatures, Evans may not be the right solution.
EVANS COOLANT CLEANS SYSTEM FREE
Systems that are clean and free of leaks with OEM type stock engines and OEM radiators. It is not as efficient at pulling the heat out of the motor and dissipating the heat via the radiator.įrom Evans, there is lots more on the internet but have to be careful about who the source is. It also runs hotter than standard 50/50 antifreeze. Points I do remember is that Evans runs up to 20 % hotter than distilled water. I have posted before, I consider boiling/boil-over as an early warning that the motor is running too hot. And as Mitch posts even if not catastrophic, running too hot repeatedly causes an accelerated slow death of the motor. Running over 212 coolant temp increases the oil temp on the cylinder walls, at a point the oil flashes over and boom, destroyed motor. Also the Stock Model A does not have a pressurized oil lubrication system. You must remember the Model A was not designed for running at temps more modern cars run with their pressurized cooling systems and more modern materials. In the distant past I called up Evans with some to me valid points, and got Evans rep to agree that Evans was not suitable for Model A's. So, my question for all of you is this: Understanding that the higher engine heat can thin out the oil (depending on what type is being used), what might be the consequences of running an engine at a higher operating temperature.EVEN if the coolant is NOT boiling over, or even close to? I'm still going to wait until that happens so I can be fair about what the Evans Coolant does, or does not do. I can speculate that on the really HOT days, that the engine will be well into the 200° range. Very true!!! BUT, is it good for an engine to be running that much hotter?.or is that just no big deal? Yes, I will concede that the coolant isn't about to boil over.
And what will happen should I be driving in 100° + weather (which is very within reason here in So. Still nothing to be extremely concerned it does make me ponder what it's going to be when the HOT summer days really get here.like when it's 80-90°, or more.
When I was stopped at a light, the temp would rise to about 190°+. As long as I was moving, the engine temp stayed about 175°, or so. I found that my engine temperature was indeed higher than what I've experienced with plain-Jane coolant.like maybe 10-15° hotter. Fun time !!! Today's air temperature was 75° F. Today I ran my 31 coupe about 25+ miles, or so, and was part of a parade of cars through Seal Beach Leisure World.
While I want to get more experience with my new Evans Coolant, I thought I might share what I've found so far.
