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(drew365 @ Jan 13 2004, 08:57 AM) I ran a couple of track days with the GT lid and a 11 blade fan with smaller pulley and saw very little improvement in oil temps. Putting the oil cooler in front is what made a big difference. this is all good and everything, but i never intended to use the GT lid for better cooling anyways. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) my engine doesn't run hot at all. i wanted more fresh (read: colder) air for my little air intake. with the stock lid and the rain-tray, you're sucking nicely pre-warmed air into your combustion chamber. that's what i wanted to avoid and that's what i got the GT lid for ...
