Anybody have any other ideas.

If indeed it is shown that the coolant flow rate is problematic on the 13B,
then I will be developing a fix for the pump.  I already started on it last
night.  There's no reason why these pumps shouldn't be able to do 100 GPM
with some creative improvements.  I'm talking to Paul Yaw about a teaming
arrangement to offer the improved pumps for sale to all.  The pump would be
an adaptation of the stock pump so there would be no packaging changes
required.

I thought I had this info around somewhere. In the Haynes 79-85
manual page 50 the pump is specifed to have 150 to 160 liters  per
minute or about 37 GPM at 6500 RPM and not 13 GPM as Rodger 
thought. This is for the 12A engine. 

Never the less a better pump might help. Sign me up.
