HI All,
In an effort to extract more performance out of our engines I have disassembled my helpers engine (yes his, in case I couldn't get it back together...but don't tell him!) to see what makes them tick....
In looking at the relative thinness of the cylinder walls and the relatively small cooling fins, I was thinking to myself it may be a good idea to improve cooling before applying power enhancing techniques (more power equals more heat)...Has anybody here ever considered modifying the cylinder / cylinder head to make it water cooled (may be just as simple as boxing in the cyl jug and head....Do the water cooled dirt bike engines employ a water pump or do they just rely on natural heat convection through the cooling system?
