Last year I had a radiator leak, and before finally replacing it, used some Prestone stop-leak product in the interrim.  It's probably time for a cooling system flush as well.

Local boiling is a property of the normal antifreeze/water mix, at least accoring to these people...  evanscooling.com

Navigating their website is like pulling teeth with tweezers, but here is a general blurb on it...

http://evanscooling.com/main25.htm

Somewhere on there, they reprinted the article that european car did way back on the stuff.  TT spoke highly of it.  BTW, they have a newer formula where you don't have to modify the cooling system at all...

There is all sorts of info on coolant that you did not realize you did not want to know until you read it...  

I don't sell the stuff, I am just happy with it...  28 degrees of initial advance on my JH, and more powah....  :-)
