Ok so im toying with an idea at the moment, focused around using an air-cooled heat exchanger similar to your standard oil coolers from repco.
I am going to pump water from a reservoir through a cooler then up-to bits susceptible to heat soak in an engine bay.
Initially i was going to just use water, but i want this little system to still be "usefull" for long periods of time
What other readily available liquids with the same SG of water are there around that have better cooling properties?.... Other than coolant, which is pretty much only a rust inhibitor/anti boil anyway.
