Somewhat relevant, I hope: Has anyone tried putting a smaller pulley
on the water pump for more flow? Would that just make
turbulence/cavitation in the pump and hose?<br>

am not familiar with the direction of air around the
radiator in the BN4, however, the BJ8’s has deflectors built
in to the frame in front of the radiator, but, not for the
wind that drops down under the radiator. So the
introduction of the shovel from the frame to the radiator
produces a hurricane velocity up and through the radiator on
the BJ8. That alone should be sufficient to cool water. But
it does not move the water very fast through the engine back
to the radiator, especially under low rpms. So I have
introduced an electric water pump (Aussie idea, as it does
get hot down under) to keep the flow of water through the
radiator to the engine through the water pump and back to
the radiator. it adds 150 liter per minute to the trickle
produced by the mechanical pump. I fact one of the
listeners commented that he could turn off the fan and just
keep the water pump operating on highway speeds. It was easy
to install using existing hoses cut in half going from the
bottom of the radiator up to the inlet on the engine, and 2
x 1/8<sup>th</sup> diameter holes in the thermostat to allow
the water to flow during engine warm up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
