Good morning George;
I apologize for my failure to submit this sooner as promised, but since my previous e-mail I decided to go the whole nine yards and go for the Full Monty, so I dove in all the way as if it were a finalized design....What the heck, why not?.....The result is 230% more cooling area in the backside of the Insert than the Front.
I have applied a lot of what I've learned, practiced and experienced in the field of Balanced Thermic Dissipation to come up with what I feel will give us the best shot at stabilizing the End housing Wear Insert thermicaly for stiffness and enhanced longevity.....But as you well know all is not EVER in concrete in the Thermal Dynamics field of engineering and surprises can result in either the positive or negative direction, due to my previous successes I obviously see positive gains but at a price in both cost and weight. After all you can't fool Mother Nature and you can't get Something for Nothing.....I would be a Fake if I didn't say that I have certain unresolved concerns in the project, but we'll get into that in due time.
But like I always say, "A picture is worth a thousand words, but a Drawing Umptienth More".
The 0 (zero) and the INSERT Layers are turned on, you just have to turn the INSERT, OIL & COOLANT Layers on as you wish.
Fire away....I'm ready now.
How are you progressing with the Bearing guy??
