Atomic 4 cooling question ???
Hey Matt,,, you got me! The $500 into the diesel account. That does make a
lot of sense.
At about a 5-6% return,,,, the AT4 needs to keep running for another forty
years!

Thomas,
Unless you know where to get everything you might need and are a very
effective fabricator, the package is probably a good idea.
You might be able to aquire a heat exchanger that would be adequate for
about 300$us but then you sitll need a raw water pump and an head tank (at
least).
Or - Put the 500 in a CD and use that account as a down payment on the
diesel that you get as a replacement.

If you are familiar with the Universal Atomic 4 gas engine, you know that
it originally used raw water as the cooling system.
Moyer Marine, and Indiga Electronics both sell a Heat Exchanger which can
be mounted near the engine, therefore eliminating the raw water as the
cooling system and using antifreeze as the coolant.
The Heat Exchanger units cost around $500 dollars.
I got to wondering ??? Can I or is there ,,, a place where I can buy a
Heat Exchanger that will work with the Atomic 4 but isn't so expensive?
Do motor boats use this Heat Exchange method?
It just seems like $500 dollars is expensive..
Any thoughts?
