I have had a few people (Ch*vy owners) tell me that as I have a flathead, this stuff would be ideal.
I cannot get through to them that they are talking rubbish. So what, you can remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot! Yes they are right it has a much higher boiling point but as pointed out, the coolant may not be boiling but your engine will be cooking.
This stuff just hides it, by the time you find out you are in big trouble.
I am no expert thermodynamics, etc, just trying to be logical and I cannot see how this stuff is anything more than (expensive) snake oil.
I have been known to be wrong so always happy to be humbled and corrected by any of you guys, but not by Ch*vy owners :-)
