one thing i noticed when dropping the engine this weekend was that
the heater blower on top of the engine is mounted in a slight angle and when it rains hard, it fills up with water! get's into the hoses too. you turn on the heater fan and it'll blow loads of water into your heat-exchangers and eventually into the longs! gotta need to attach a small block off plate to the underside of the lid right over the fan.

QUOTE(Randal @ Jan 12 2004, 11:46 PM) ... After - with GT hood, allowing more air flow in and out, along with a big fan (1600 cfm) blowing air out through the oil cooler worked better (cooler), but still need another 105 degree day at Buttonwillow to confirm. I did have a big 4 inch HD drain pipe scooper at the bottom going through the (removed) heater ducts to get more up into the engine compartment... Because you changed several things and not JUST ONE, your results are inconclusive whether a GT engine lid contribute to engine cooling. It simply could've been the bigger fan -- that would be my logical guess. Remember, when testing stuff, you can only do one thing at a time to determine what actually gives you the results. |
