Re: SVX Engine cooling "Again & Again"

I have been granted permission to run a test on Shotgunslade's engine. I have modified the X-over manifold for the water outlet. I am going to run this modification alone w/o the aux. cooling ports in the heads to find out if this is helping the overheating issues by itself. If not, I will hook up the aux. cooling ports and work from there. After seeing the minuscule volume of the inside of the manifold I can only imagine that the flow through it is limited and I would imagine the limit is right around 6500 engine RPMS and thus the high RPM engines that are experiencing the issues. Lets see what we find and work from there.

I can honestly say that impeding the flow is not going to help anything except allowing it to overheat on both sides of the engine rather than just the one restricted at this point
