That little essay tells me you don’t know shite so go preach somewhere else. What a clown
Ask you brother for a synopsis on automotive cooling problems and their cure.
This part , I agree with with. Don't let his disrespectful replies cloud your judgment about what he says, right or wrong, about the subject. Some people feel the way to elevate themselves is to put others down.
Well, as I've said multiple times in this thread, I've already proven it twice, back to back in both my vehicles, so I know slowing down coolant flow is wrong as it can be. If people would just use their brains for two seconds, they'd see it too.
This just isn't true. Sure, if you slow coolant flow more heat is pulled out. But doing that also means more heat is being transferred to the coolant in the block.
It's not hard to see that the design of the radiator itself slows water flow down enough to shed heat. It doesn't need slowing down further.
There's enough evidence in the science and real world applications that there's no need to get personal. After a while though, it does get tiresome when people still cannot see it, so I can understand some frustration.Well, if you can't stop being an asshole how do you expect to be respected. You're just showing your ignorance being nasty. If your tired of repeating yourself shut up and stop commenting. I have no doubt you are a very qualified mechanic. I do have respect for you in that aspect. I just don't understand why you have to be so insulting to fellow members. I'm not thin skinned but, it took me 4 years to get my master's in engineering and for you to say degrees are bullshit is an insult to all those who figured out how to make things work and I don't just mean cars. If you are uneducated that's too bad but, I bet you have a **** load of experience, and nothing beats that. So, I'm asking, just take it easy on people. Remember you get what you give, and that's no bullshit. Have a wonderful day.

Well, most people who are "here" have vehicles that put out power above stock. Sometimes people forget that performance applications differ from their stock counterparts. Even mild builds are different in their needs. Oftentimes, the cooling system is forgotten about and people wonder why their vehicles are running hot. The stock cooling systems in these are usually pretty adequate, but sometimes, people do stupid things like leaving shrouds off, adding el cheapo electric fans and on and on. Just because you see it in a magazine doesn't mean it'll work. THose guys get the best of the best of parts thrown at them by sponsors and then people run out and try to duplicate that with the cheapest junk they can find. It's always a recipe for disaster. That's why I always advise people to put the cooling system back as close to stock as they can. If that doesn't cure the over heating, it comes close and now they have a good base line to which to modify on. It usually doesn't take "much more" than stock to cool most engines. I'm unsure that any stock radiator was a true high efficiency unit. A real high efficiency radiator has 14-16 fins per inch. I've never seen a factory radiator with fins grouped that close. A true high efficiency two row with rows 1.25 or 1.5 inches wide will cool just about anything you can throw at it. But telling people that is like talking to a brick wall when they've just spent 200 bucks on a POS chinkesium pile of junk "radiator". Nobody wants to hear that their brand new shiny thing is a piece of crap. And honestly, that's what wrong with 90% or more of these over heating problems. They cheaped out on the radiator and got a piece of crap.
