I know that there have been MANY threads before on cooling a Tiger (radiators,
fans, pumps, etc...). But I have heard that one of the primary causes for heat
is not getting air through the radiator, but getting hot air OUT of the engine
bay. Is that true?
I have seen many venting solutions on Tiger hoods including gill style vents
etc... The LAT hood (if I have seen the right hood) has a long forced air
intake scoop, with a rear facing triangular vents in the rear corner quadrants
of the hood. Which works, or works best? Has anyone tried picking up forced
air from under the front bumper and ducting it into the upper engine bay (much
like brake cooling)?
Opinions are welcome.
Best regards,
Ray B.
