Everyone seems to have their  :twocents: so...

If you temporarily switched to 100% water would it possibly eliminate some of the variables?  For every 1% of coolant in the mix your temperature will go up about 1% ignoring the thermostat.  The key is that if there is liquid flowing it should cool significantly better than a mix.

Just tossing out ideas...hopefully he didn't already say he was running 100% water.
