Hi All,

          Just removed the engine for Mod 72.  I fitted G.S's firewall 

mod, and I must say sealed it up beautifully  . Cutting away the 

silicon sealant to get at the bottom bolts out was a b**ger. Shame mod 

72 didn't come out two months ago before I fitted the engine. "Thats 

life". Anyway while I'm at it I decided to replace the Evans coolant 

with 50/50 antifreeze. Question one, Can I flush the engine out with 

just water,  or is there something else I should use. Two Any particular 

antifreeze I should use.



Cheers  Danny

XS tri gear G-c.e.r.i.



P.s I have fitted the a coolant gauge

Evans supplies a wash out chemical that must be used to rid the system of 

any trace of water or other coolant.  No water is allowed to exist in the 

system before filling with Evans.

Brian and all,



Danny is intending to remove the Evans and revert to 50/50.

No problem in this case, the Evans (propylene glycol) is water soluble. 

Funnily, I seem to remember that some other coolant manufacturers see no 

problem in mixing propylene glycol with water  ???



 Regards,

Gilles

My mistake.  I believe Evans main reasoning is corrosion related.
