Ok, I recently upgraded my computer to Vista and had to download some software to get my camera
to talk to it…So here are some pictures of my cooling install
Notice the bypass hole that you guys are
talking about needing to plug. This hole is in the housing which has been
removed, so it is not a player.
The little rag you see on the oil line is
a high tech way of checking for a leak. (I have one!)
The red wire is the air temp sensor for
the air after the radiator. It is on top of the fan.
Hoses are 1 ¼” The temperature
sensor was moved from the left side of the inlet to the top
But is reading temperature as it enters
the engine after the radiator. (coolest place)
My overflow catch can. I will be
replacing this with a pressurized on as per Lynn’s suggestions in a previous post
in order to introduce
An air cushion above the liquid under
pressure so it will not be “locked”.
I am planning to try and put suction on
the cowling at the exit with a leaf blower in addition to the prop blast and
the small fan to see if an increase in
Air flowing will help. I
haven’t checked the sides of the radiator yet as I have been alone when
running the engine….
All inputs appreciated. I already
know some things should be changed, so don’t hold back with the
suggestions.
Thanks,
Bill B
