thoughts on engine cooling?
Yeah..., it not a one trick pony solution
To be an effective solution - it needs to be a system
I ordered the LJ minis the day they become available to do so - would have ordered wards but damn the wait is ridiculous
Still waiting on LJ to ship
In the meantime - ordered and received wimmer twin oil coolers / fueling oil filter offset mount
Also ordered the AN fittings and hose to plumb the oil coolers

I have a friend that has them and he loves them. I personally don't think they are needed but ask me again if I get stuck in traffic on a 90 degree day lol

How many of you have had an engine failure due to overheating? How hot is too hot? Does anyone have a temperature gauge on their cylinder heads? Does anyone who has installed cooling fans have any data before and after the installation? How about some proof that this really helps to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

There is a thread here somewhere from DK customs on cooling.
Are they trying to sell you something? YES
But they did a lot of testing with different mods and the result in temperature drop.
Seems like a tank lift and an oil cooler or filter relocation may be worth looking into.
If I remember right they claimed an 8 to 15° drop( could have been more for the cooler) for each mod.
I have zero experience with fans so can't speak to that.
