HI Dave,

The manifold has been coated with the tagnite, basically a magnesium 
anodization process.  The damaged portions have been prepped and a hi-temp 
magnesium-friendly epoxy has been used to paint the inner walls of the 2 
coolant passages (they are about 5" long, maybe 1.25id) with a protective 
coating.  At the recommendation of the guy who designed, engineered, and built 
the engine, he's going to a straight EG product, since that's what they 
planned for and used in the test cell.  Finding a totally non-aqueous straight 
EG coolant is problematic, as virtually all of the commercial mixtures have 
some volume of water.  Still, he's going to use DexCool, as it is what they 
used at the factory when the engine was built.

I'll try to get a package put together for you before the end of the week and 
will let you know what the shipping works out to.  Paypal is fine... the 
address is receive payments through over there is marv@lancair.net.

  Thanks Marv, that's nice of you to do that.  2 gal will be more than enough
  to fill my system, but I wouldn't mind having a 3rd gallon around for extra
  in case I need it.
  
  But before you send it off, what is Ted going to do?  He can't go to
  something with water because of the Magnesium.  IMHO, you just need to
  increase the capacity of the cooling system so you can't get the coolant up
  to 240 anymore.
  
  Anyway, still glad to have the NPG+ if you sill are willing to send it.  Let
  me know how much you want for shipping and how you want it (paypal works
  well for me).
  
  Thanks again!
