I got a brochure from Stewarts Components (www.stewartcomponents.com) and their pumps sound interesting. However, the brochure had some tech tips which I found matched my own opinions - such as speed

Too fast can be just as not good, as in removing the thermostat and not fitting a restrictor in its place. PaulH. -- Original Message -- /// /// mgb-v8@autox.team.net mailing list /// Send admin requ

The big no to restrictors might be for their pumps. They may have designed the pumps that way. Remember that a belt driven pump will pump more as engine speed increases, but an electric pump can do w

Fine if you can get a smooth flow if water across all surfaces, but turbulence is the problem more than cavitation. If turbulence develops and you get eddies recirculating past the same bit of surfac

Mostly correct. There is no such thing as too fast. However it is possible for the water to loose contact with the surface, when localised steam pockets are produced around the combution chambers in

I think we are beating around the bush but not quite nailing it down. Using standard pumps water cannot travel too fast in a radiator. In an automotive cooling system, I doubt there is any laminar fl

Et al...I have been following the thread about the issue of water speed, etc. and find it interesting that perhaps a return to some basic principles are in order. Cooling is a result of a proper bala

That is after the t-stat at the cap. It's much higher on the engine side of the t-stat. I know of a TR4 racer who has documented that his 15psi radiator cap does not blow off, while he is registerin

As warm weather approaches, so do cooling problems. In the past, I have always had a front air dam, or spoiler on my V8's, usually the LE style. When I built the newest car, I was trying to maintain

Good to know, thanks for sharing the info. Another thing that will make a HUGE difference is ducting from the air dam to the radiator. This can help 2 ways, it forces air entering the air dam to go

The U.S. MG guru, John Twist of University Motors says that the best thing MG owners can do with their temp gauge is to cover it with black tape. I believe he is trying to tell us that the gauges ar

Have you checked your "steam hose"? This is the small diameter hose that goes from the water outlet downstream of the thermostat to the intake manifold just below the carburetter adaptor plenum. I b

Thanks for the advice - the steam hose was definitely blocked at the manifold take-off. Time will tell if it cures the problem. Cheers, PaulH. http://freespace.virgin.net/paul.hunt1/ --Original Messa
