I believe the radiator is the important difference in the equation here. I failed to mention that it was 95degrees and blasting down the interstate at 5000rpm when my temp got to 200. I have never ov
Hi Mostyn , Where does a person get a four row radiator ? Is this something a radiator shop retrofits to an existing Sprite radiator . Or is it a ready made unit ? Do you need to modify anything to m

You've got it right, but I think he's talking about using a larger crankshaft pulley, which would spin the waterpump, fan, and alternator Chris Kotting ckotting@iwaynet.net handle
At high RPM the pump sometimes pumps too little water, not because it is turning too slowly but because it is turning too quickly!!! The phenomenon of "cavitation" means that the pressure behind the
