Remember, slowing down the water pump will further reduce the coolant pressure in the block. You want decent coolant pressure in the block to quench the steam bubbles that will form, and the inherent

To prevent cavitating coolant from the waterpump I raised the system pressure up to 10.5 PSI. That help's a lot. To prevent overheating of the #4 cylinder you can use the water outlet of the heater a

I thought about that, it's why I think it will take some testing. I suspect that at higher RPM the pump isn't increasing pressure linearly, there's such a big range of RPM that it operates over. Ther

I made my current pulley by turning down a big (approx. 4 or 5 inch diameter) chunk of steel. It took forever. It would be much simpler to machine a hub and bolt an off-the-shelf pulley and harmonic

Yeah, Peyote is plumbed that way, and it might help. I run 16 pounds of system pressure, but I have a non-standard cooling system. As I recall, someone said they put a pressure gauge on the block and

Hey Bill, just a little hydronic knowledge. If a pump creates pressure on the outlet side(block), it would have a lower pressure on the suction side(radiator). If this didn't happen you'd always be c
