I'd appreciate your help with a couple of cooling system questions regarding my Formula Ford Xflow motor-- 1. Am I correct that the water pump feeds coolant INTO the lower radiator hose and the coola

The water pump pushes water into the engine at the pump (on the front of the block); the water exits at the elbow at the top, front of the head. The water exiting *should* go to the top of the radia

A friend (and client) of mine has a patented reverse-flow cooling system that works on any car, using 50/50 ethylene glycol/water or, preferably, propylene glycol (nontoxic, safe, ok for race tracks)

Susan, will it work with water and Water Wetter? Tech inspectors take a dim view of things like glycol.

Dear all, For a couple of seasons I had troubles ith my vintage race car (1930 Morris JAP) boiling at ONE particular circuit. The circuit was unusual in that it had a very slow twisty bit for 1 mile,

Just read an article about a VARAC member who collects and shows some Model T Ford racers - point was made that Model T's didn't have water pumps - they heated the water, which pushed it's way out th

Actually, the conventional ethylene (not proplyelene) glycol/water mix, (which is slippery when spilled and eats the asphalt, I'm told, on the tracks), is the culprit. It is my understanding that PG

I'm sort of doing what you're doing. I read water temperature out of the frame tube that goes from the top of the head to the top of the radiator, and oil temperature in the dry sump tank after it h

Well, my Eagle FF has the water temp sensor in the header tank and the oil temp sensor in the (bottom of the) oil tank. I can't offer any theoretical insights, but this arrangement seems to work wel

Brian et al -- I measure the oil temp in the tank (it's a dry sump system). Since I don't run an oil cooler, that's pretty much the temp the bearings see (leaving out the probably small temp rise fro

Better not tell the boys at Chevy about this. They were able to gain considerrable hp by making the engine reverse flow. Bruce Brandt Austin, TX

Boiling within the pump is usually referred to as cavitation. Perhaps its not so much the direction of the flow as it as the place the water pump draws its water from. My vintage race car has possibl

Burce and all: This is the reverse flow system I described! Invented by Jack Evans and "used" by GM on their '92 and newer Corvette, and all LT1 engines. (He has improved on it since then to use PG.)

Smokey fiddled around with it but never got it to work very well or reliably. In an old Circle Track article he acknowledges Jack Evans as the guy to talk to cuz he made it work! Success or failure h
