Wow! Everything (almost) eats magnesium. Magnesium is one of the most chemically reactive metals. It's probably the water in the antifreeze that's the culprit, not the antifreeze itself. You might check the race type antifreeze that you don't mix with water. Can't remember the name, but if no one else comes up with the name, I'll post it tomorrow. It may not react with the Magnesium like the water mix type.

What Crower intake is made from magnesium?

holy cow i never even knew that ,thanks for the info dyno john..i knew that magnesium wheels were hard to keep fresh , and its a fi setup, kind like a hildabran jobber

Here's the company that does the trick anti....

Evans Cooling
e-mail: info@evanscooling.com
phone: 610-889-9933

They make a antifreeze that doesn't boil till over 300 degrees, without a pressure cap, and doesn't involve water. They'll gladly send you a info package.

thanks dyno but dont think ill need it if its gonna eats itself,, but the seller swears up and down its an aluminum intake...have you ever see that color aluminum? (it would look sweet though!)oh well
