Can I add this product to my race-car radiator, to lubricate the water pump?

Why dont you use red line Water Wetter? This changes the properties of water. I dont know what would happen when heat and pressure is applied.

No. This oil would degrade rapidly and most likely start forming a build up that would kill your radiator. Water Wetter as was previously suggested is the way to go, plus I don't think you'd pass tech if you had this in your rad.

I have no idea. The waterpumps I have seen have sealed bearings that are protected from the water/antifreeze. Use at your own risk. Mixing this with antifreeze is a new experiment. Good luck ! ( do you have an extra engine, just in case?)

You add this to the fluid already in the radiator. This is not a antifreeze substitute, its an additive. If you have a cap on your radiator add through there, if no cap on radiator then add to reservoir and keep cap off for a while to allow mixing into the system.

That's about right for a upgraded radiator. But in my situation I went with 3 gallons (bmw v8 w/upgraded radiator). Left me some for future use or emergency.

yes, clean well and add lube to top of gasket. I super glued a few spots underside of gasket to keep it down

I not sure about the replacement parts to this really in-expensive water pump. If it were several hundreds of dollars than I would concern about replacement parts but when it is only less then $60, I would just purchase another one. I know this is perhaps not the answer you were looking for. the only thing that I do with my car is change oil and brakes.. that's it..

No, instructions just say to add it to the existing fluid. The stuff is VERY thick so takes awhile to pour it in. I've put about 5k miles since adding, still shifting a lot smoother.

VW does not make blue coolant, unless this was the case prior to G12. I wouldn't add anything w/o a flush, just to be safe. You don't want the "cottage cheese" situation. Are you certain you don't have the purple G13+? That stuff is backwards compatible with virtually everything.

You need to check your owner's manual....mine specifically said in it to use that coolant....hope this helps.

Unless there is a definite need for Silicone Based Lubes I waould use water based. This product does not state but I would play it on the safe side. Thanks, Bob Bestway

Yes I use tools to do it am going to try a water based lubricant when I install new one in a couple days

Most engines have an assembly lube from the factory. I wouldn't worry about it. Delivery on it's side was certainly not the best thing but it should be OKAY.

Yes, for something like water pump or thermostat gaskets, possibly a carburetor gasket. Wouldn't recommend it for high temperature applications.

Sorry, I ended up replacing my radiator before using this product. I'll put it on Ebay in a few days.

I can find no reason that K-Seal can added to your radiator. My only suggestion would be to make sure your coolant/anti-freeze is new and clean.(K-Seal is for Head Gasket, Block/Head and Radiator Seal) I used this product on a GM NorthStar Engine 4.6 Aluminum Block and Heads!Regards

Not necessary. It can be added to existing coolant as long as the coolant/water mixture is correct.
