My engine shroud blows the air straight down and blows dust everywhere, so I want to try these baffles I made up to blow it out my rear.
Can anyone see a reason why this would be a bad thing? Attached thumbnail(s)

Looks great. With your fab skills, I think it would be easy to make some tins that replicated the factory ones in function. Right now, your cooling air is cooling the top of your engine well, but it is missing the hottest parts of the heads and cylinders: the bottoms. If you can channel the air around those bottom-side curves a little (like the factory did) I think you will run much cooler. At least your temps would be more even, which is as important. I wouldn't use the stock type 4 bottom tin though. A type 1-style bottom tin would do (basically a flat plate under the "cleavage" between the two cylinder barrels.) |
