INTERESTING!=C2- Couple of thoughts.=C2- Before you modify your inlet o
penings, try putting some vanes in the plenums hung off the top.=C2- I ha
ve not done that, but it will be my next step if I still have cooling probl
ems.=C2- My thought was that they would be about 1.5 inches deep and run
---From the front to just forward of 5 and 6.=C2- If that doesn't do it, you
could put some deflectors on the vane to deflect more air toward the heads
.=C2- The vane worked so well in my cobra head that I think it may help h
ere too.=C2- The air coming into the plenums must be very turbulent as is
.=C2- My plenums are back on the plane and now on to the oil cooler.=C2
- I may have told you that I split my shark's tooth along the sides and m
ade the opening about 1/2 inch higher.=C2- Both that, and my cooler is 11
.5 inches wide, so I have some hope for it.=C2- Also, did you add the hol
es and plenum on either side of the shark's tooth to cool the oil pan direc
tly?=C2- I have it on mine and oil temps have been OK.=C2- I built it t
his way, so I can't say that made the difference, but I remember reading so
mewhere that cooling the pan directly helps.=C2- John probably told you t
oo that he worked around the problem by mounting the cooler directly in the
cowl.=C2- When he takes the lower cowl off, he needs to un hook the cool
er from the hockey puck.=C2- We need to open a photo sharing site somewhe
re.=C2- My pictures are 5 GB each, so e-mailing them does not work well.
=C2- Any thoughts?
