Hey guys,
I am in the process of flushing my cooling system after a cracked head repair. At this rate it doesn't look like ill be ready to put the anti-freeze in for another day or two. Right now I currently have pure distilled water in my system, with some Simple Green HD, and plan to start flushing with just strait distilled water tonight.
If I have to run strait distilled water for a day or two, will I be ok? I understand anti-freeze has lube for the water pump, corrosion inhibitors, and other additives, but research has showed me that water may actually be better for cooling, and that I shouldn't have to worry about a boil over as long as the system is pressurized, but I haven't found any hard info on this.
Do you guys think I will be ok to run just water for a couple days so I can get to work, while I am still working on getting the cooling system nice and cleaned out?
