Curious if anyone is using a vanagon fan shroud on their type IV motor. Got the tip from Blake Meredith as it doesn't have those lower wings on the shroud so it should cool the race motor a little better but....once I found one and got it home I realized that the casting did not have the normal hole in the top for checking the timing. So should I drill out the part of the casting in the fan shroud to expose the timing marks? Should I figure out some way of tapping threads in that new hole to screw the cover from a 914 shroud in the defect? I figure that hole will just be a great way of releasing those cooling vapors that I consider so valuable.
Thanks, Milt McPherson |
