CDR RA above said it all.
note particularly that Redline WaterWetter conducts heat better than water or the usual 'coolant' mixes. Yes it gives no anti-freeze protection, not a problem in Perth. Looking at the original post, I'd still give the cooling system a good check. |

Do not trust $20 of inhibitor on a $10k engine.
W/w works in combination with normal coolants (it's merly a high temperature detergent/surfectant that breaks down the surface tension of the coolant & allows it to 'wet out' surfaces better). They state for racing use the best heat transfer is when it is used straight with distilled water. I would never trust it alone for an alloy blocked engine......Anyone say electrolosis? I have used it on my own cars with glycol based coolants for a 2-3 degree reduction in temps.......It does not play well with OAT type coolants.

^^^ Well, redline here and in the US would beg to differ on its ability to protect alloy engines. I have used it for about 10 years without issue. I had simialr concerns originally due to its "race use only" guidelines, btu after seeking their advice and using it for myself, havent had an issue.

Slako is the redline Agent here.....And Cov's used to be the sole warehousing agent.
It says it CAN be used straight. It also used to say drain the system during the off season if used with out any other inhibitor. Horses for courses. Like I said before I use it, it does work, but I'd never use alone in a street car.

100 c isnt going to cook it if the coolant system is working and efficient. Very normal to be tipping on 100+ when you're doing track time. These car's we're built to be abused.

Each to there own but my experience has shown there is no need for the coolant. i guess if you are really worried, go for a dual pass PWR ally radiator.
