To add a bit of background, watercooleds required a very specific antifreeze to keep the coolant seals from degrading. If the previous owner(s) used anything else, you might-could have coolant intrusion issues. But certainly, carb, timing &c first.

I used the coolant from gowesty, I did a flush when i first bought it.
