Sorry Rick, your idea just doesn't hold water. Heat flows from hot to cold at a rate proportional to the difference in temperature. The hotter the coolant gets the slower the rate of heat transfer from the engine to the coolant. Slow down the flow of coolant, and you agravate the problem...
I've done testing with normal thermostat, high flow thermostat, and no thermostat. The operting temperature decreased with each step. Magzines have done the same tests. The thermodynamics agree with t. Yet, somehow, this myth will not die.
I noticed it at our local farm store and like the color better. Plus, it is available in quart cans. Anybody know if I can spray this with a wagner gun?
Schwitzer 4LE-456; 11641831-1. Divided inlet; each half feeding 360° of turbine. The diffuser has vanes. Appears to have the same turbine as the 4LE-354 but has a larger diameter 60mm inducer and taller exducer blades.
Schwitzer 4LE-354; 10945184. Wastegate turbocharger. Divided inlet; each half feeding 180° of the turbine. There appears to be two different compressor inducer sizes. This one is 57mm, my other (with damaged turbine) is 54mm.
Actually, I was going to slightly turn down the fuel and be happy with it. However, I just bought a brand new 4LE-456 (LDS-465-2) turbo for relatively cheap. That turbo has a larger diameter compressor inducer, taller blades at the exducer, and a vaned diffuser. Gonna try this one next. I...
it took some patience, but I found a rebuilt 4LE-354 (LDS-465-1A) turbo and installed it recently. It does make a difference.
With the 3LM-39 (D-turbo), the boost came up quick but so did the EGT. My FDC is compensated, and going up a hill, I would have to take my foot out of it pretty...
The thermostat in the multi is used to balance coolant flow between the radiator for cooling and recirculation back through the engine to prevent hot spots; I suggest keeping it. You really have nothing to gain by removing it.
I've taken apart three sprag transfer cases. In each one, the forward sprag was worn out but the reverse was fine. You COULD use two reverse sprag sections to make one good set. But, then you have to find and pay for another sprag transfer case. I agree that it is better to move to an air...
