Tech Question Max Coolant Temp.



I don't know exactly. My real concern is what the MAX temp the contents, be 
it water or coolant or both, will get too. I guess this all relates but I'd 
rather be on the high side than low to avoid a malfunction in some of the 
parts I am selecting since they too will be exposed to this heat. Pressure, 
as it relates to my parts, is not a problem.

247C is now the High Bidder.
