My oil temps are a little higher then usual . I'm pretty sure its because of the wrong fan cover that was sent to me. I thought my redesigning would work but my temps where around 210 degrees today and I wasn't even running her hard. Usually when I run her hard the temps stay under 200 degrees . I'm thinking they would be around 225-240 if I did run her hard. So I had to tear the fan cover off and reshape it again. I hope I have it right this time . i read in one of your other threads you covered a hole. does your cooling shroud have any holes for the hot air to escape? the fan brings the cool air in and should have an exit point to let the warm air out. do you think it's possible covering that hole is causing the problem? or does the new part fit so poorly it lets the cool air out before it can flow over the engine? |

The design of the shroud is a little off in my opinion. Yes it works just fine when you have the right pieces to match up together, but the cooling fan sucks in air and blows it towards the top end. The hot air is blown out the bottom of the shroud. Hmmmm , heat naturally rises , so in my opinion the hot air should exit near the top of the shroud , or at least out the left side, but not the bottom . also the left side of the shroud Is horribly close to the leftr side of the top end , so I imagine most of the air is flowing into the right side of the top end and then out the bottom . some air is more than likely flowing into the shroud and right out the bottom . the left side of the shroud is so close to the top end that I imagin the air flow around the left side is mininmal with most of the airflow being forced mainly into the right side of the top end and out the bottom . like I said the design works just fine for when all the parts fit the way they are suppose to , but the cooling system could df be more efficient. |
