Re: Distilled Water?
After I had my motor rebuilt, I asked a couple of re-builders and radiator shops their thoughts on Antifreeze. Was told that they recommended Antifreeze, has vastly superior anti-rust properties compared to distilled water/rust inhibitor. They also said what I had seen on line. Antifreeze itself does not wear out, it is the additives in antifreeze, and was told to freshen the antifreeze every so often with a bottle of additive. When the additives go bad the antifreeze turns acidic and can attack gaskets/do nasties to aluminum/cast iron/etc/formrust-deposits.
This is what I currently believe, am open to others opinions.
