If a 94 doesn't already have an aluminum radiator, it can't hurt. However, I don't think that's the problem. Do a compression check on both the cooling system and the engine. You should almost never need water. Either you have a cooling system leak or a blown head gasket. Does your overflow bottle have any oil or oil residue in it?
