What is the connection between vapor lock (a fuel delivery
problem) and a gear reduction starter (consistent rotation of the
crank) ?
<div><br>
<div>Also the key to cooling an engine via a radiator ( heat
exchanger) is air flow. It seems correct that moving the water
too quickly through the exchanger will limit the loss of heat
from the coolant but air flow is very important. The stock AH
fans do not move many CFMs. Thus the reason the cars seem to
do well, temp wise, at speed but very poorly idling along in a
holiday parade! </div>

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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
