Hays carries an extensive selection of heavy-duty flexplates for high-performance and competition Chevy, Ford, and Pontiac engines. Boasting a thicker-than-stock steel plate, these more robust flexplates can handle the force generated under higher torque and RPM conditions—which can crack the crankshaft hubs of factory stock plates.

Welded ring gears and dual bolt patterns add security and the flexibility to adapt to a variety of transmission-style torque converters. Hays flexplates are finished off with corrosion-resistant zinc-dichromate and are SFI certified under specification 29.1.

Features

  • SFI 29.1 certified
  • Available in externally and internally balanced options
  • Most feature a zinc dichromate finish for superior corrosion resistance and good looks
  • Heavy-duty design leverages thicker steel plate to withstand the stress of high-stall converters and high-RPM engines
  • Available for popular Chevy, Ford, GM LS, and Pontiac applications

Royal Purple: Purple Ice Cooling System Optimizer

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

Purple Ice, the reformulated cooling system optimizer and conditioner from Royal Purple, is the most advanced product of its kind, reducing engine coolant temperatures by as much as 25°F and providing unmatched protection against harmful buildup and corrosion in the cooling systems of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and powersports equipment.

Racing, towing, and day-to-day driving can strain today’s cooling systems—a vital yet often neglected system that is prone to overheating. As a wetting agent, Purple Ice helps lower engine coolant temperatures by reducing the surface tension of the coolant. This allows a better interface between the engine’s coolant and hot metal components, which enables the coolant to better pull heat away from the engine, helping prevent overheating as well as the formation of damaging engine hot spots.

Royal Purple: Purple Ice Cooling System Optimizer

Purple Ice is especially beneficial for performance racing applications where the use of conventional glycol-based coolants is not permitted. When added to water, its glycol-free formulation provides racers with advanced corrosion protection, enhanced heat transfer capabilities, and compliance with racetrack rules.

Unlike other similar products, Purple Ice is 100 percent water soluble and leaves behind no film or buildup. Royal Purple has designed Purple Ice to be compatible with all OEM and stock replacement coolants, including extended-life antifreezes, and can also be used with straight water for maximum cooling benefit. Plus, it won’t harm sensitive rubber seals and hoses.

Available in 12-ounce bottles (01600) and 12-bottle cases (12600).

  • Reduces engine coolant temperatures by as much as 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Protects against harmful buildup and corrosion.
  • Ideal replacement for glycol-based coolants.
  • Won’t harm rubber seals and hoses.
  • Water-soluble formula leaves behind no film or buildup.
  • Compatible with all OEM and stock replacement coolants.
  • Available in 12-oz bottles and 12-bottle cases.
