For the turbine side, the exhaust gas entering the turbine will be at a much higher temperature and pressure than in the exhaust system after the turbo. In that case, making the manifold (or header) from a material with a strong fatigue resistance will allow you to insulate the exhaust manifold, retaining exhaust heat

Cooling System FAQ: Read if you want coolant information! - NASIOC
Popular manufacturers include: Neo Synthetics' Keep Cool Royal Purple's Purple Ice hy-per lube's Super Coolant Red Line Oil's Water Wetter Should I use tap water, deionized water, or distilled water when mixing? Best waters to use are in this order: 1. Is the Subaru coolant pre-mixed or not? They have both kinds, but BE SURE to read the labels carefully as they are nearly identical in appearance except the wording on the package! What aftermarket coolant can I use? This was detailed in the May 2005 issue of End Wrench which is no longer online, but paraphrased here
NOTE Since the thermostat is not going to be open when you initially fill the coolant system, the flow path for filling the block is via back flow from the upper radiator hose into the head and the block. This is further complicated on turbo models where the aerodynamic ground effects extend back from the front of the car directly underneath the radiator
adding coolant - Bimmerfest - BMW Forums
If you top off with coolant, your car will have a bit better freezing protection (down to like, say, -40F whereas it'd normally be -35F) but will "cool" the car a bit less. Also had that happen but it was from removing the EGR plate coolant lines (didn't know they actually flowed coolant through them) while my Mustang was hot
Additionally, the coolant dripping or leaking from the reservoir will cause the level in the reservoir to fall faster than usual, thus leaving your engine overheating more often and eventually damaging it. The cap for the filler is also positioned on the coolant reservoir, making it necessary to pour the coolant into the reservoir instead of directly into the radiator
Almost instantly, as soon as a modicum of side force was applied, the nipple simply "twisted" off (it twisted because the plastic broke but the metal sleeve was still intact). This, in the future, may be useful because we don't yet have a cn90-patented technique for removing the nipple intact, so as to make a radiator shroud removal a dry affair, without the need to replace the expansion tank overflow hose radiator nipple hose clamp in the future
This job is straightforward on most cars, but some cars have cooling systems which are sealed, and these units are usually a little more difficult to work on. Theoretically this is almost always simply a matter of undoing a few bolts, but in practice difficulties often arise because of the inaccessibility of the bolt heads
In some cars, the reservoir is found in the back of the engine on the driver's side right next to the wheel well.Removing the old coolant reservoirUsing a socket wrench, take off the three bolts that attach the tank to the vehicle. Be sure to remember which goes where as you'd have to reinstall them later on.Connecting the radiator hoseAfter securing the coolant reservoir in place, connecting the radiator hose to it is your next step
Changing the Coolant - Triumph Thunderbird Sport - webBikeWorld
Modern Haynes manuals seem to be very well written, with procedures described in a logical and orderly fashion, and have good photos that are directly referenced from the text. I hadn't used Haynes manuals since way back in the days of the Meriden Triumphs, and back then, they were hard to understand, used convoluted English, and had really crummy photos
However, Havoline Extended Life Antifreeze DEX-COOL protects the high lead solder very well, there is no detrimental interaction with the solder or radiator, and there is no need to be concerned. As I am basically a chicken, I decided after this summer's rash of "radiator failed and I lost my coolant" messages to buy a new Nissen unit from RPR and install it in my 1990 745
When you see that the flushing water is running clean, turn the engine off, but allow the the flushing water to continue running another 15-30 minutes to ensure an even cool down of the engine. The next step will require you to start fitting new parts, and may require the car to be on jack stands, so you may wish to keep the clear water in the system long enough to start the engine and move the car to your normal work area if you intend to put it on jack stands

Besides, if the drain plug is above the starter motor, why then do you have to remove the steering motor fan which is below the starter motor? Picture from engine from below attached, oil drain plug clearly visible, no cooling drain plug however. The reason for this is that old, exhausted coolant can actually cause irreversible damage to your engine components: We here at Pelican found this out firsthand when the head gasket on our '93 BMW 325is was replaced

Now fill the system with distilled water, run the engine and heater, then drain when cool.The coolant capacity of the 190E 2.3 is ten quarts but the heater core holds two. It currently has a green colored coolant mix in it, but I've been browsing the MB forums and everyone keeps mentioning Zerex G-05 in comparison to the MB brand coolant sold at dealerships
What worked for me: I took a simple portable Sears Hydraulic Jack (even the OEM jack will work) and placed a socket extension (or a sturdy socket screw driver will work) between the jack's pad and the bottom of the ET and slowly jacked it up.

It's at the bottom of the water pump cover on the left side of your bike, in front of the shift lever: 3) Place a bucket under this drain bolt, and using the 10mm socket wrench, remove the drain bolt. Nope, just plain ol' WaterWetter You can either get the pre-mixed WaterWetter (I think it's called Super Cool or something) and use that directly, or you can get the WaterWetter additive and mix it with distilled water
My current plan is to apply 12VDC to the coolant heat recovery pump as a way to purge the air from the thermos canister and associated parts of the engine coolant loop. I was trying to make a pressure difference inside, to remove the air pockets, and it worked (I could tell the inverter pump sound got deeper, and started the coolant flow through the tube, and I had to had more coolant )

However, although the antifreeze loses its corrosion protection and picks up contaminants, the ethylene glycol base does not break down and remains intact. The rapidly expanding economies of China and India have led a worldwide increase in demand for ethylene glycol, and have helped to fuel recent price increases
When the head gasket leak got bad enough, going from a slight antifreeze smell from the steam to coolant dripping out from the timing belt cover, I tried some desperate patch kludges right on the block that didn't last. Then I did my best to clean the surfaces and set the new gasket in, following the manual for the head bolt tightening sequence, but the major shortcut of not disconnecting the manifolds, removing the carb, etc, was a huge labor savings
