hmm well I definitely should have greased more.. never thought of it.
Clearly you know more than the guy who has been messaging me, you’re well composed, researched and through and understand the concept of proof of claim…..whereas This guy emailing me the gloom and doom is headstrong, arrogant and self serving, but being a IT administrator I deal with those people all the time. I feel I can always learn something (if I try really hard) from anyone, regardless of their style.
I went and got a omc v4 head and looked over the way the cooling water flow works. I really can’t see how having those little NPT Thread openings at the top truly help.
maybe it lets air out quicker in the beginning before water gets thru the engine?.. weird. I’m impressed with the whole cooling design. (although I was never impressed with the way the thermostats were designed.. hard to get trapped air out of the block with that setup.. there are tiny holes to let air out.. a little gunk and thats clogged.
I don’t like the idea of drilling and tapping the head because of aluminum filings dropping down into the cooling jacket… but I could pull the cylinder gasket covers and drill that and thread them.. should do exactly the same result.? I’ll post pics of what I mean in a sec.
