This is an often-misunderstood topic because open, non-pressurized systems in automotive cooling systems are ancient history. Adding glycol does not raise the boiling point.

Don't know where those charts came from, but the boiling point is unaffected in an open cooling system- period. That is why vehicles eventually progressed to closed pressurized systems.

A 50/50 mix does not raise the boiling point. Only a closed pressurized cooling system will raise the boiling point.

I would really like to have my flywheel and pressure plate assembly dynamically balanced. Any Barners know of a shop in upstate NY or northern PA that can do this for me?

It's a single disc set up.

Does the surface on the flywheel where the pressure plate mounts get machined as well?

My original and unrestored 28 Tudor hammers and shudders when engaging the clutch at a standstill in 1st or reverse. I suspected an oil soaked clutch disc (not a muliti disc) due to a rear main leak but after pulling the engine and transmission that is not the case. What should I be looking...

Hey Folks- I'm in need of a good usable valve cover free of cracks around the mounting holes (circled in red) for a December 1928 engine. Please let me know what you have, thanks!
