I agree. But we aren’t talking earth moving equipment or junk like that.
If you radiator won’t cool and it’s aluminum, it’s not not cooling because of what it’s made from.
So my over simplifications aren’t really.
They are facts.
Almost no one disputes that two big cores will out cool four smaller cores. You aren’t building a radiator out of brass or copper or some mix of it that will tolerate two big cores.
Again, that’s a fact not a simplification.
If guys would figure out that skimping on cooling causes power losses because you can’t set and control engine temperature then they’d follow the simple rules outlined above.
I didnt make those up. Those came from the industry.
A few simple phone calls to a couple of places and anyone can learn what I posted.
Buying undersized junk **** and not grasping what it means when you have a 180 degree thermostat and the engine on hot days is running at 200 they should know their cooling system is NOT doing its job.
It’s failing at its job.
Guys will argue if it ain’t piking water out it ain’t hot and I call bullshit on that thinking.
Again, if you are 180 on the thermostat and 200 on the gauge it’s TOO HOT.
If that’s not too hot, get a 195 thermostat. Of course that’s not the fix for a piss poor designed cooling system.
I just don’t get why people don’t understand why the above scenario is wrong.
