Most race gaskets are made with the same materials as production car gaskets (the exception is copper gaskets). Why would anti-freeze damage gaskets?
I have never backed-off the rockers. I have always drained the radiator and refilled with straight anti freeze, holds 1 1/2 gallons, then run the electric water pump for 5 minutes, then away it goes. Sometimes I would go visit it once a month to turn it over by hand 180*. Don't know if it needs to be done, but at least I got to visit her. Always stays in the trailer at the track, but soon she will be able to stay with me!
