Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrai 308 water reservoir

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

The cylinder liners are “wet” (they are exposed to the coolant).

Exactly - thougn I would hope there is not water near the iron liners. Brass, copper and aluminion don’t rust, though they do corrode. As those elements are prety much full of coolant all the time there is little air to aid corrosion. Getting rid of the steel rust element in the expansion tank (which is far worse than aluminium corrosion) which also includes air - can only help.

If the tank is steel, there’s another different metal in the system.
