Engine Pictures 4: I am planing to use a remote water pump, does it matter
on which side to feed the engine?

-------------------------------------------------
The right side is the feed the left side is the return from the block.
I hope it is not an electric water pump. PL
---------------------------------------------------------

Engine Pictures 5: What should be the torque value for the drainage plug at
the bottom there?
-----------------------------------------------------------
You got me there. Not much. I just has to seal. PL
----------------------------------------------

Engine Pictures 6:  I am planning to reduce the height of the oil feed,
can  I eliminate the overflow little tube?
-------------------------------------------------
You need some sort of vent in the oil pan. I would run the
tube to a catch can and see what comes out. PL

You were keeping an eye on me, right!!!
I am planning on the Mechanical WP430 from Meziere not the electrical,
this electric water pump thing almost got me through the electric chair LOL.

Still looking for complete specs like weight, size, operation temp etc,
But the graph attached looks good to me, I still have some times to decide
on this one.

My intent here is to install it low since I planned to have the radiator
under neath the plane
as some pictures were showing here recently.
I believe a lot in this solution, I think it is easier to keep the heat out
to start with then
getting air in the cowling at 150 - 180 mph then out with over 100KW of
heat.

Where high pressure and flow of a mechanical pump are necessary, this
problem solver mounts and drives like a dry sump oil pump. All O-Ring seals,
5/8" Keyed shaft. "WN" Style fittings required.
