i've only used distilled water/water wetter combo or engine ice if freezing is a factor.

unless it's gonna be exposed to freezing temps i'd probably just stick to water/water wetter.


With the distilled water and water wetter have you ever had any issues with temps getting to high because of not having any regular coolant?


I believe straight distilled water cools better than anti-freeze. The only reason we run anti-freeze is to keep heads and blocks from cracking...

Also, anti-freeze or water wetter has anti-corrosion properties in it. Otherwise, if you run straight water you will corrode to some degree.
