check out Redline water wetter. The have a really good web page, actually.
Water wetter was first developed as a commercial anti-corrosive additive,
and later used as a temp reducer. it actually works, in both senses - it
stops corrosion, and it makes the car run far cooler. I've personally
experienced a 30 deg drop in temps ( 220 deg to 190 deg, between sessions on
the same day at Mid Ohio), just from adding a half a litre of water wetter,
and I don't care if anyone believes me! The Midget and I know for sure!
The only thing I'm not sure of is does it also have a lube factor for the
water pump, but I haven't had a water mupm fail, so maybe it does.
