Antifreeze/H2O Ratio

[Larry C Leung]

Mike,

Anti-Freeze lowers freezing point/raises boiling point BUT has
comparatively poor heat transfer properties (compared to water) and less
heat capacity (ability to store heat). IF you can keep temps down below
the mixture boiling point, more water will transfer more heat from the
head to the radiator. Water Wetter (Redline) helps water/antifreeze (or
water alone) be in fuller contact with the metal surfaces, also helping
heat transfer.
