Can anyone see any potential issues with block off the flow of coolant around the exhaust sleeve? Seems like pitting can be a problem in that area, and that area would significantly increase the temperatures of the cooalnt. As well, By filling that area of the water jacket, you would essentially keep more exhaust heat in the exhaust, which is ultimiately better for power.



Any problems?

 

thats it

 

but what about reliability? would having the little lip between the two ports eat away the corner seals? how is it for power? about like a bridge?

 

they did it to skirt the rules, its prolly worse for reliability, but you have sponsors right?

 

nah, i'm asking for my street car. I haven't started my race car yet.

 

not something to do for a street car

 

Cool! I was able to grasp a new concept at my age!



venomrx7, just do a regular bridgeport or streetport.

 

appreciate the info lynn..

the answer i was seekin was more along the line of what RETed had posted..

the temp range the housing was seein with the sleeve actin as an insulator and considerin coolant heat transfer..

 

Yeah thats what I was imagining, but theyd have to but a down curviture where the finger is pointing so the seal wouldnt chip on it methinks. Now thats called pushing the rule to its limits

 

btw lynn youre an inspiring guy, great life youve made yourself, i'm getn into racing like that for sure later in life it looks great.



sorry for startin this threadjack amp
