Re: Drive belt water inlet adaptors

As I understand it glycol does have a higher boiling point but transfers much less heat causing higher engine temperatures anyway. It pays not to go over 30% glycol otherwise there is the possibility of localised hot spots. Much better instead, I think, to go with some of the 20 to 30 psi competition caps that are available and maybe some water wetter as well. Just MHO.

Cheers
