Hmm,
didn't think about that one. Any downsides?

Have you considered removing the thermostat?

Ice...Water Wetter
Lee,
I rarely have had heat issues with stock
Hondas in the past since like you
said they run cool compared to other
cars. My challenge is the shaved
head/higher compression on the
D16Z6 is creating a hotter running motor than
stock which has lots of
power during the first few minutes of running, then
slowly starts losing
ponies as it warms up (radiator & coolant are new
BTW).
Here in FL the heat factor is more dramatic in the summer
so I'm willing to
try this stuff and see what happens. Little Beast
is becoming very fun to
drive as I slowly chip away at each issue one by
one (ignition, timing,
cooling, etc.).
