Coolant Lines

[quote name='Signal 2' date='May 12 2005, 05:23 PM']Various minerals and iron deposits eventually leave solution and deposit on your water passages and restrict them. At the same time the deposits effectively insulate the metal from contact with coolant, further reducing the efficiency of heat transfer. They're also hard on the coolant seals. Especially bad when you don't flush coolant very often. Two gallons of distilled water is what...$3? Why not?

meh now your making me want to go flush my coolant system again. my motor has like 6k on it so im sure another 2k wont hurt it. Ill change the coolant again once i change the oil at the end of this month. I hate taking down all the undertrays and such for no reason really. It wont hurt to do it this way right ?

umm... no reason to drop the undertrays. Pull the plug on the radiator... and remove the bolt going in to center housing on the engine, right above the low oil level sensor. ALL of your water will be out now.....

thanks for all the replies....I'm just tired of ordering everything from the dealer. I've probably spent more then 1,500 on various stock parts. Using water in my cooling system wouldn't be very wise for a few reasons. One reason being I have Evans coolant, well thats pretty much the only reason.
