What size wheels can I fit?  Group: Members Posts: 4,654 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region   |
Is there a rule of thumb as to the most efficient way to drive during the summer in order to keep things as cool as possible back in the engine bay?
For example, is it better to keep the RMPs slightly higher to keep the fan pushing more air or is better to keep RPMs lower to keep the engine from generating more heat. If you can follow that logic. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) |

My understanding is the typeIV fan cavitates at higher RPM's and actually moves LESS air when you spin it fast. Higher road speeds = higher head temps. The only way to know for sure what's going on is to use oil and head temp gauges. Hopefully the wise ones (John Larson and Jake Raby) will join this thread.
