Desert Heat
Bob...
Went racing last weekend .... the fluid temperatures were arising. Water to 240, old dinosaur parts to 280. Already running Mobil 1 15/50. Had two 930 turbo's that just had to be dusted. What's being worked on in the way of bigger oil coolers? How much will the aluminum radiator help? I thought about installing a water/ oil heat exchanger but I don't think I have enough capacity left in the radiator to make that work effectively. I've opened up the restrictor in the radiator abit, we will see this weekend if it helps any. Also removed and cleaned the oil cooler. Only other thing I can think of is to turn in to a trailer queen in August....but then Morty's already got that covered (for all months).
Also...FYI....we are getting some deflection in the front spindles. The rotors are moving enough to touch the bolts that mount the adaptors to the existing GM uprite. I noticed this after the last race...turned all the rotors and replaced the pads. After last weekend, we have grooves where the mounting bolts are hitting again.....I guess I could just grease the front tires to solve the problem.
Say hello to the merry men
