If you've got a heated garage I'm willing to help with that as well

I'm currently fixing up an 89 FZR600 for a friend of mine to race. But my garage sure as heck isn't heated

The nearest twisty roads... if you discount the river valley are in the mountains. And pretty heavily patrolled until you make it into Northern BC (that I know of).

The tracks don't want ethylene glycol because it is flammable. It is also very slippery when spilt.

Take some E-G (prestone, or any brand) in a small glass bowl. You can light it and it burns just like Sterno. E-G is a type of Alcohol, that's why it burns easily.

Even diluted to 50-50 it will still burn... Don't ask me how I know...

you need to use something that will lubricate water pump and also the thermostat (believe it or not, the plunger can stick closed with plain water)
Probably not a good idea to leave it in here for weeks a a time as it will cause corrosion of alloy parts
