Some of you people flying have water pressure gages.
Where are the gages tapped in and what are you seeing in the
way of pressures?

Paul Lamar

My engine is a 1986 13B fitted with Racing Beat  2 sheave aluminum pulleys to
slow the water pump and alternator roughly 20%.
The coolant pressure gage is in front housing on the sparkplugs side and I have
noted about 10 psi at 5400 rpm at 3500 feet altitude.
