You really think it will be good as a daily driver as long as I put in those other new parts but just add distilled water to the already low coolant as long as it's just for these next three weeks? That would be nice if it worked, it would give me just the right amount of slack. Do you have experience driving short spans of time on a car with overly diluted coolant? It sound like it shouldn't be a big deal... it's just three weeks...

Coolant is pretty much there to lubricate your water pump and prevent the car's water from freezing.
The water is actually what absorbs the heat the most. If you can run a 70/30 [70% Water / 30% Coolant] with what you've got now you'll be fine until flushing it.

No, I think the slightly overly diluted coolant should do fine for these three weeks, besides, I don't have a paypal account.
Thank you so much though!!!

oh yeah, it should def be fine with just distilled water. My dad runs just water in his 1991 Mustang with a 460 as his drag car. It runs at about 180-190 temperature and E85 with a carb, so I'm sure you'll be fine with that mix.
Sorry bout ur situation man, wish I could help out somehow :/

I shall impersonate a man. His name is Alonso Quijana, a country squire no longer young. Being retired, he has much time for books. He studies them from morn till night and often through the night and morn again, and all he reads oppresses him; fills him with indignation at man's murderous ways toward man. He ponders the problem of how to make better a world where evil brings profit and virtue none at all; where fraud and deceit are mingled with truth and sincerity. He broods and broods and broods and broods and finally his brains dry up. He lays down the melancholy burden of sanity and conceives the strangest project ever imagined---to become a knight-errant, and sally forth into the world in search of adventures; to mount a crusade; to raise up the weak and those in need. No longer will he be plain Alonso Quijana, but a dauntless knight known as Don Quixote de La Mancha!"

I ask of my Lexus that she may serve me, that I may hold her in my heart, that to her I may dedicate each victory and call upon her in defeat, and if at last I give my life, I give it in the sacred name of Iris.
