Well thanks Tom (both Toms)
It remains to be seen if it works. I have yet to fill 'er up with coolant (conflicted on the type) and start testing, IR thermometer at the ready.
Coolant conflict
I have a variety of metals in my system: A-4 alloy iron, brass, stainless, copper and aluminum. I want the benefit of rust inhibiting properties of ethylene glycol but don't want to eat up vulnerable metals. Safer propylene glycol has a reputation of organic slime, less to no rust inhibitors and limited life. Looks like once again, life is a compromise. It's never clear cut and simple. I need to decide by tomorrow.
