I am finally getting to the radiator plumbing
and want to confirm what I'm about to do. I have a single, custom radiator
on the cool side of the engine. I plan to run dash 16 lines from it to the
inlet/outlet of the water pump. "T'd" into one of these lines will be a
what, dash 4,6(?), line from the bottom of the fill tank(1.5qts), which will
also have a small line to an overflow tank. does the fill tank "T" to the
pump input or output line? for clarity, are we calling the output the top or
bottom port?
it was mentioned that I may get by without a
swirl pot, however, I will need a small (-4?) line for air bubbles tapped from
the top of the water pump back to the fill tank, as well as a line from the high
point of the radiator back to the fill tank, both of these entering the fill
tank above the fluid level line. am I missing anything? can
the water pump and radiator air bubble line "T" together before entering the
fill tank? is there an air bubble line needed off the rotor
housings? if I install a Schrader valve to pressurize the system, does it
matter where? [ I suppose somewhere that doesn't involve removing the
cowling]. kevin [gave up finding a plug for the oil pressure
sender, must be 10mm x 1.25 threads? 10mm x 1 doesn't feel right, and just
screwed it back in.]
