A warning about Evans Waterless Coolants

Like any new product a person should be skeptical about whether or not it will perform as advertised. I'm running it in my '72 Duster 440 drag car because I'd been pulled off the starting line at the strip when my cooling system started to boil over. The Evans will not.

My son first heard of the stuff a few years ago on Jay Leno's Garage. Leno switched over to it after seeing how badly the water/glycol he'd been running had corroded a Deusenberg engine of his. Problems with corrosion are supposed to go away with the Evans and they claim it's a 'lifetime fluid that never needs to be changed. Most of our engines have a lot of aluminum components and part of our decision to switch to Evans was to protect expensive parts.

My 408 in the Barracuda runs at a constant 200' with Evans but never boils over It ran at 185' -190' before. According to Evans the temperature is even throughout the engine and does not have the extreme hot spots around the cylinder heads caused by boiling. They claim you will actually experience less pre-detonation. My experience with the Duster's 440 seems to confirm this and I'm actually able to run more advance than before.
