No. you should always use a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water. Water, even distilled causes rust. Most headgaskets are made of thin metal. The water will rust around the water ports and cause the gaskets to leak. The replacement of a head gasket or gaskets will run several hundred dollars and worst casue serious engine damage can result. Antifreeze has additives that help to lube the water pump, inhibitors to keep rust in check and the 50/50 mixture will actually keep your engine running cooler.
