You should NEVER run pure coolant. In hot climates, it should be 50-50 water / coolant. In bitter cold, like here in the northeast US, we sometimes run a little more coolant than water, but NEVER more than 70-30 coolant to water. All coolant will cool the engine FAR less than the 50-50 mix. It can also cause build up, and coolant itself is designed to operate best only with water mix. Try using Mercedes-Benz coolant, it is far better than regular green, and the anti-corrosion is better too. Just make sure you get all the green out 1st.
