Can anyone please help me with some questions I have on my water-cooled 100cc ICA - i've only ran air-cooled stuff until now. The engine is a Parilla reed valve with a 2-jet Ibea carb.

Is the water in the rad just water or does it have some proper coolant in it as well and if so what is the ratio?
I'm only testing and maybe some non-msa racing so could i use a more efficient coolant than water as wanting to prolong engine life?

Any tips on how to bleed the water system?

Water pump pully - I presume I have to lift out the axle to fit the water pump belt / band?

What is the ideal water temp range i should be running (bearing in mind wanting to prolong engine life rather than go fo max performance?

Any and all advice greatly recieved!
Thanks
