[FWDLK] WATER , you talkin about?



One point Dave's article overlooked mentioning is that a function of
"Anti-freeze" solution is to allow water/coolant to adhere to hot
internal surfaces, so that a transfer of heat, from the engine,  to the
coolant mixture may be realized.
Water, by itself, can boil-off of the hot surfaces, like the article
mentioned, so that it becomes difficult to tranfer heat "off" of the
engine surfaces.

That said, I quoted  directly from the 1957 Dodge Bible (service manual)
, a few months ago, that ONLY pure/clean water was needed inside the
Dodge engine, UNLESS  A/C was
installed, so that the "anti-freeze" solution  could  prevent FREEZING
of the coolant,
because :" ...the air conditioner evaporator
lies in close proximity to the heater core, which might cause coolant in
heater core to freeze
(!!!!) if system is not protected." Antifreeze is recommended for use in
the cooling system when the temperature is likely to be beow 32 degrees
F. ...".
