You're right on, Pete. With "mal-distribution" as you described the effective area of the core is diminished and its as if you installed a smaller radiator. What will also happen in what you've descr

No problem. In all our thermal models we have "q_solar", which is the solar load on various day types. At altitude in an aircraft q_solar is significant, and is most felt in the cockpit because of th

If you thought the radiator stuff sucked, this is 100 times worse. Delete now if you're not mathematically inclined. Ok, I didn't have time to run a "hard" number, but from some data, 90 degree ambie

Downforce is a beautiful thing. There was (according to folklore) a batch of early XK-120s imported to the states that kicked the snot out of everything, including other 120s. It was determined that

It doesn't have to be. For the "tightest" oil control you would plug the valve cover or do what I did putting the crankcase at a vacuum. You can also put a filter on either the valve cover or the tim

I re-read what I wrote. Not quite right. My way is a dead-headed system, not a vacuum. Any pressure build up in the case from blowby, etc. results in flow. Common on new cars. I have to remember the
