It just occured to me as I was going to bed last night that it was getting colder than f***.
I don't have antifreeze in my motor, just distilled water + wetter... It hit 23* last night and I can't get to my car to check right now and I can't focus to do my job at work.
Any northern people have a bad experience with this? How much cold [over how much time] does it take to hurt a block?
We barely ever hit freezing here and I just didn't think about it with everything else on my mind about the car.

 

Anything below freezing can do damage, in most cases frozen "coolant" will just pop frost plugs, but if it gets cold enough for long enough you could end up with a cracked block. 94

 

ya I know, but I'm hoping for some time still. I will take the trip over there at lunch and just drain it all. It is at my parents and I tried to text my brother last night but I don't know if he got it.
It is just honest to god sad, since I am a tech and we have customers asking about their coolant. But my own... completely escaped me


But freeze plugs? Honda? Those threaded caps are stronger than a plain plug. And I have a fat brass radiator, so no plastic tanks to let go.

 

We been sitting in the low to mid teens for the past few days/nights. I run the Supertech coolant from Walmart.

 

Why would you just run distilled water? Pro dragster huh? Question for you, what happens to water, when it freezes? yeah.....Should of ran coolant/antifreeze.

 

i run water in the summer and coolant in the winter to store it. if the furnace were to shut off...
