wow thats impressive, nicely done.
what coolant do you use? i cant find anything blue.

Hi Bill, The blue coolant is called "engine ice" it is supposed to keep hit engines cooler than most other products.

if you do go with Engine Ice, be sure to completely flush out the old stuff, you cannot mix it with anything else, not even water (meaning it's not an additive like wetterwater).

Cheers , using it "neat" on a fully drained & flushed system.

engine ice doesn't mix with water right? so its not like if you made the ratio more 'engine icey' it would change the colour eh?

Engine Ice has water in it for christ sakes... WTF? It works fine with water. It's NOT Ethylene Glycol though. It's Propylene Glycol which means it's earth/pet friendly too. It IS a pre-mix so it doesn't need to be diluted.

I have it in both of my bikes. Bill, if you want it bluer, add food coloring to it. This stuff is clear and they add color to it. The reason it doesn't look blue enough is because it's such a thin area you're looking at. My coolant in my jugs look cobalt blue.

chris i didn't know and was just asking.

I use Engine Ice and noticed an immediate drop in operating temp. I'm sold on it.

ya know until mine gets 1/3-1/2 in the thermostat it runs a bit lean so i'm happy running mine a bit 'hotter' b/c i never go into the red even idling in 100 degree heat
