dual cooling

i could do with the how to's of instaling dual cooling.

i was thinking that my head was feeling very hot, but ill compare it to my mates next time we are out. i take it if you run dual cooling in cold water the engine never really heats up?

agree 100%

If your engine feels too hot you have a problem, fitting dual cooling to it is like trying to polish a turd. Its not needed in our climate.

My blaster kept overheating and popping orings .stripped head checked ALL lines and elbows for blockages ,all brass fittings ,checked water jacket aswell.did this more than once. put in duel cooling problem solved. Guess there's something wrong with my engine then ?

but i like polishing turds kev, ill have to try your glitter idea!

I run it on my kwack ....i get a really good flow !

At the end of the day if your not having overheating issues don't worry about it , I have used my sj when snow was settled on the ground. I just can't see how the engine will run too cold . I'm no expert I cook pies for a living but the small amount of water in the jacket compared to friction of pistons etc seems like no contest to me. other benefits are if one line gets blocked and you don't notice line two is good insurance . I'm running duel cooling cos I was told to when I picked my tbm up in the USA . They new it was for freestyle . I think ( this is my understanding not what I was told ) the tbm in some cases does not create enough pressure for the cooling line pick up to feed the engine properly but I stand to be corrected    

Me & Lisa both run duel cooling

Have you been talking to Lisa   

by putting a tbm in a pump you are changing the flow, so maybe while pressure is increased it may also change where that pressure is in the pump or the way the water flows through it.i run stubby cone and a bored nozzle, all this would change pump pressure flow etc? it maybe more effeciant at pushing water out the back but not so good at pushing it up 90degree brass fittings ,just a thought . maybe thats why duel cooling is suggested im sure some clever maths/ science type people could work it out unfortunatly im not one of them

ok. i thought flowing water took the path of least resistance ie easier to flow out the back than go up a small hole and round 90degree bend. but i think im getting way out of my depth now

I think if dual cooling was needed TBM would have it on thier website or in the instructions.

That's me told then !told you them clever people would be along sooner or later Ps what are instructions for ?

Originally posted by SuperDan I was told if im running a blowsion large pump hub cone thing i need dual cooling.  Even in the hot weather weve had lately, my "hot" hands arnt hot.. it does keep engine temps down.
