Yes, indeed. Spec. or Enhanced Spec. depending upon use and purpose of the
vehicle.

Yes, and one of the unique results of the unique Wasserboxer design is the
much greater surface area of aluminum the coolant is exposed to. When the
buffers in the coolant go south, they go exponentially. You can test ph to
confirm the buffers are gone. If you get a 6.5 ph, it is proof that you
don't yet have a 4 gallon battery going on. But it can be 7.5 in another
month or 1000 miles. Once ion transfer begins, the march of aluminum atoms
to take vacations and "See the System" begins. Gee, if we had some
phosphate we could really get the tranportation system going. The steel has
free ions for the asking. The aluminum, now out free and roaming thanks to
the acid, is asking. A mutual agreement is founded to create a micro
amperage battery of the cooling system. The acids eat the aluminum, and the
steel at a much lower rate, and provides the atoms to build the crystals of
scale that act like ice at the seams, fittings and flanges, wedging their
way to freedom from the system.

If there are phosphates available to enhance ionic transfer when the
coolant shifts to acid, you have a handy transfer infrastructure already in
place. The Neaderthals knew this from the data they obtained when first
studing the realities of their proposed mixed metals products. This is a
long standing specification for all the DM school.
Porsche/VW/Audi/MB/Opal/Volvo/Saab/Peugeot and others. Even the English
apes have followed suit as Jaguar specifies the same for their mixed metal
mechanisms.

Yeah, real data, from experience, not a new experiment, confirmation of
results under the given procedures, enhanced if inspection or unique uses
warrent it. It just seems logical to me that the Germans are not having
nearly the failure rate with the Wasserboxer design that we do because they
don't compromise given procedure. I am still waiting for info from anyone
in Germany or who has been to Germany to talk to the apes on the road
driving 300,000 Kilo Wasserboxers to find out when or if they have ever had
the heads replaced, oh, yes, and to see their documented service history
proving the maintenance intervals.

The very last thing a Neanderthal ape wants to happen is to be sitting at
the side of the road with steam billowing across the skyline, and every Cro
Magnon, Neanderthal, Australopithecene and Binobo driving by chuckling and
shaking their heads in chastisement in a demeaning barrage of social
sanction, the negative type. 'Cause they know the solution is so simple,
that any ape who can follow simple, specific instruction, see and do,
doesn't have to put up with unthinking bullroar. I suggest that any one ape
that thinks he knows better the the team of spezialist apes who made the
maschine has an ego problem that will insure, with his like minded kind, a
ready supply of fools and money for the ""Them to Us Algorhythm" applied by
the more humble apes.

(Friday I will post my outline entitled "Political Economics 101" wherein
the "Them to Us Algorhythm" is disclosed. It is the name for the methode of
developing charisma with statistics.)
It is universally applicable, not the least of which is the buying and
selling of Wasserboxers.
