Howdy Guys

  Finished MM Tuesday and got the rear mount done today.On to rad
mounting next. I have alot of info to sort through on the cooling system
after following the in depth topic .If you dont mind perhaps you could
confirm the best setup to date. I will be mounting rad below oilpan with
inlet and outlet towards the rear. The front end of the rad will be
slightly higher than the rear.i'm assuming an air bleed tube will be nec.

Looking good Geir. That rear mount is cannon proof :)
Should hold 20 times it real load of 50 pounds :)

It is interesting you have a 12A front cover on a 13B engine.
Nothing wrong with a 12A front cover. They are much stronger
than the 13B covers as they were the main motor mounts on
the 1st gen 12A powered RX7s.

Looks like plenty of room under the engine for a horzontal rad
with a oil cooler along side.


--------------------------------------------------------

Looks like there are two ways to go. Number 1 the air comes in over
the top of the rad and flows down and out through a cowl
flap. Adavantage rad is shieled from the exhaust radiant heat.
Drawback major cowl mods.

Number 2 the air comes in from under the rad and flow up
through the rad makes a 180 and flows down behind the rad
and out under the fuse with a cowl flap. Or it can flow out
the sides with a cowl flap on each side. Drawback the
rad is NOT shieled from the exhaust radiant heat by the diffuser.
Advantage is less cowl mods.
