Gotcha... Will give you guys a call after the new year. Thanks!

I've got a 6.5T that will be going in in the Spring that my kit will be being transferred to. I'll update to the thread when the swap is done.

I posted that almost 3 months ago in this thread. It will be ignored now like it was then.

Link Good thing we've got folks here that know more than Bill Jenkins though... :roll: ETA: Wanted to add an excerpt from Mr. Jenkins's book, "The Chevrolet Racing Engine":

I guess some folks just like to :deadhorse: Again, this is not a new concept. Nothing revolutionary. But what do those amateurs at Edelbrock know? Different engines. Different execution. Same concept. This is no magic cure-all. Just the same type of small modification many folks have...

Okay, I wasn't actually planning on spending this much time on this but, since I like pikchurs (and I wanted to try out my new avatar!) I figured I'd do up this sketch to show what I was trying to describe in words my understanding of the cooling flow in each situation. I think I've got a...

Okay, I get you now. What I'm saying is it's not a fair comparison because those were solutions to non-existant problems promising unrealistic results. Where as, here, the original block design of this engine family did actually suffer from a real world design flaw resulting in cracked #8...

That's definitely a fair point, which at least comes across to me, more specific than what it seemed Sintorion was implying in that these were some money making scheme on joe's part (or maybe just didn't word clearly enough to convey differently?). Rest assured I'll report any long term issues...

Sintorion, The thing is, joe isn't the only one saying it's an issue. He's just saying he's got a different take on the solution for an apparent problem reported by people than what others have come up with. What are your thoughts on the kits offered by Predator for $850? Or the Flash...

Sintorion, Let me preface this with I've got no connection to 911joeblow and no dog in this fight except I bought one of the kits. I don't get anything from anyone buying a kit. The type of test results you're expecting are only going to come from an engineering department with many thousands...

Admittedly, we don't have a complete picture available of the dynamics at play to form a solid thesis. There may be any number of things at play to explain what I measured. That's why I thought a total engine picture or video with a thermal imager would give a more complete picture of the...

Ha! Not to worry. Analysis and troubleshooting is a big part of my job. I've been accused of being too descriptive with customers on occasion. :mrgreen: I actually feel like I neglected to collect some important data during testing.

Time for me to do my write-up for the kit I bought from 911joeblow! Kit got here last Wednesday, just had a chance to get it installed today. 911joeblow shipped very quick! Bought it from him 4/15 (Saturday afternoon) and he had it shipped Monday. First impressions of the kit... It's thorough...

As someone running a significantly turned up IP on my 6.2 that doesn't hesitate to get hot, I'm certainly interested. Looking forward to pics!
