Maybe the reason one of the reviewers with the 928 had to change his WP.

On the episode, did you see the muck coming out of the cooling system?
That system looked like it had not had any maintenance done on it for years. If that kind of liquid and sludge is coming out of the cooling system then you have more problems then just the coolant, in my opinion.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing and I really get a kick out of thinking about the cars they are selling. The guy does do great work on the cars but just not very complete with what the cars really need.

He flips them. What more do you expect. He fixes what's obviously wrong, and sells it for a higher price. Usually taking advantage of buyers who haven't done their research and don't know what hidden problems are under the hood that haven't been fixed and/or could appear the day after he sells it.

Evans NPG is great for solving the problem of hot spots on the water jacket side of the combustion chamber that can cause the coolant to boil.

Vaporized coolant here doesn't cool down the area and voila, detonation.

This is a problem we don't have.

Except divide that by half when adding water for a 50/50 mix or one third that price when doing 70/30.
