- In the quest for a cooler running Tiger, many of you have shown an interest in a no longer available 6 bladed Ford fan. Similar ones have been suggested and identified and seem to possibly work......

- Regarding the restriction of the thermostat; restriction is more-or-less proportional to length divided by area. You can't compare areas of radiator opening with thermostat because the length of the

- In the absence of flow, the pressure is equal everywhere. Since there is essentally no flow to the header tank, then I believe the pressure there will be (nearly) the same as at the radiator. This n
