Default Converting air cooled to water cooled...maybe

Jim,

Sorry, but changing the mode of cooling for an engine without proper
engineering *is* jury rigging.


I didnt say I wanted to do it "without proper engineering."

That is why I am here, to get information on how to properly engineer
it. I am an engineer so with proper input I think this can be done.

As you say, it may not be economical, but to reject it out of hand is
shortsighted.

I always like to point out to young engineers that if we didnt try what
couldnt be done, nothing would ever be accomplished. Almost any
engineering project has never been done before or it wouldnt be in the
engineering department, the technicians in the lab would have looked it
up and done it by now.
