Ooops
Guess who didnt put anti freeze in the coolant system. Fortunatley this is the only damage.

Lucky to get away with it if thats the only damage. Check all the core plugs haven't moved. Always use anti-freeze/coolant. It's
anti-corrosive and lubricant properties means it does move than just stop freezing.

It also improves the heat transfer so it aids cooling in summer. That's why the full title is usually "anti-freeze and summer
coolant"
It's a good thing (unless you drink it  ).

Ethylene glycol Anti freeze actually has a detrimental effect on the cooling capacity.
see extract below from Engineering Toolbox website
Note! The specific heat capacity of ethylene glycol based water solutions are less than the specific heat capacity of clean water. For a heat transfer
system with ethylene glycol the circulated volume must be increased compared to a system with clean water.
In a 50% solution with operational temperatures above 36 oF the specific heat capacity is decreased with approximately 20%. The reduced heat capacity
must be compensated by circulating more fluid.
Automobile antifreeze solutions should not be used in HVAC systems because they contain silicates that may cause fouling. Silicates in automobile
antifreeze are used to protect aluminum engine parts.
Note! Distilled or deionized water should be used for ethylene glycol solutions.

My mate split the block on his newly rebuilt £2K rover V8 because of this. It goes with out saying he was upset!
I dont understand why people dont put anti freeze in out of principle.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Should have kept it in Pats garage like I did. 20'c for 24/7 you dont need any anti freeze.
