Marv, great, just let me know about the cost.
DexCool? Really? EVERYTHING I have heard about that stuff is terrible. If
I have the story right, Ford or GM was putting it in the cars thinking they
would have a long life coolant but it ended up ruining a bunch of radiator
and a few engines. I have even seen an add from a lawyer trying to find
people who's radiators were ruined by DexCool. Of course the OEM maker
stopped using it.
I don't know anything about its ability to cool, maybe it would work fine if
you change it regularly.
Anyway, hurry up and finish messing with that thing so you can get back to
your project :-)

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!
