Is anyone running this in their cooling system/ It would be pretty pricey, wondering if worth it.

I'm just finishing making a replica underhood heat shield after a couple of false starts. Will share shortly

 

Jay Leno was plugging it a while back. It sorta makes sense for his applications, that is, high-dollar garage queens.

I don't see much upside for a car that gets driven and maintained, but I'm sure you can find plenty of arguments either way on BITOG.

 

That's where I saw it, Leno had invited a car owner onto his youtube channel to tell them all about the jensen Interceptor the owner had restored. The owner was able to say yes and no couple of times and provide a couple of topics for Leno to talk about, one of which was recommending .Evans. Unusually itt was 110 degrees F here yesterday and I was contemplating cooling by a strange coincidence....

I know some of the racing guys use it, way too pricey for me unless it has astounding benefits like saving the engine when it gets a coolant leak which seems unlikely...

 

Nothing cools better than water. If you want to try Evans Coolant, just pour up 100% antifreeze. Prop glycol is inferior in every single way to ethylene glycol besides being safe enough to not kill the stray cat and at 100% concentration it has a much lower freezing point.

Running it in a V12 with a cooling system that’s already being pushed pretty hard is not a good idea.

 

This summer has been the hottest on record in the Phoenix area. We have had over 50 days where the temperature reached at least 110 degrees, and 30+ of those, we hit 115 or above.

I drove my XJ12 as usual. Not every day of course, but as usual. I remember seeing the dash thermometer reading 118 degrees.

Of course I wasn't without concern during those hottest days, but I had no issues whatsoever with the cooling system. This is with 50/50 coolant that is a couple of years old. I took some basic precautions like idling in neutral (or fast idling) during long red lights, and occasionally shutting off the air conditioning (the a/c was struggling all summer. Leaky valves again).

I tend to agree with Xalty. I've even considered increasing the water ratio in the system. So Evans probably isn't a good proposition by any measure for this engine. More important by far is being proactive about the cooling system and not putting off needed refurbs until it is too late.

September started out at 115 degrees. But with the smoke from the west coast fires, it ironically has cooled off here. Today it was hazy, like an overcast, and it only reached a high of 93 degrees. Downright brisk!

 

Evans you can run at zero pressure. Evans doesn't cause hot spots due to vaporization or air pockets.. Your car will run hotter with Evans. As mentioned , water from a specific heat capacity is FAR superior. But you need to keep it under pressure to function, wherein lies the issue with water. The temperature increase to me is insignificant however you need to watch the associated oil temps. So a larger oil cooler in mandatory in my opinion.

I run evans on my turbo v6 car. Makes over 850 hp to the rear wheels.

Id suppose if running it i an xj12 id want a higher capacity radiator, good fans and a nice oil cooler at the least. Im looking into an xj12 whish is why Im here and just saw the post...So I figured Id chime in.
