Brent,

I am only aware of two "tricks" for the wasserboxer.  There is no proof
either work, but I use both.

1. Grounding the right side head with a 10 guage wire to the body,
preferably to the same body ground point the mass of ground wires
connect to on the left side.  Theory is this reduces electrolysis from
poor grounding of the head through the studs or exhaust pipes to the
case, which is grounded through the tranny.

2. Adding NoRosion, (http://www.eastwoodco.com/cgi-bin/sgsh0101.exe) a
buffering agent, to neutralize the corrosive acids that form from the
normal breakdown of all glycol based antifreezes, including Autobahn.
Now I use the new technology Dexcool, which is still glycol based,
phosphate free and doesn't produce acids at all for at least 5 years.

Both are cheap, easy to do, and won't cause any harm, so what the heck,
why not do them?
