Is this kit compatible with the type 4 filter? Seems like pretty easy add on? I would prefer a coupling that didn't use the external filter until 180f but can't find a complete kit. |

Note: modern oils have expanded the thermal performance envelope since this engineering book was published. A Superhawk catch! An understatement... Superhawk is NOT a "random lunitic" His stuff is pretty good. He's the first poster to provide the answer to your first question. My first thought after reading his post was "Old info- numbers aren't right now-a days" Read it again and find the disclaimer... The Hawk snatches victory again! My numbers today are 10-15 degrees C HIGHER. At 280F oil temp I'd "abort the run" and select high engine speed and almost no load. High cruise in 3rd or 4th. If that didn't have nearly immediate temperature drop, I'd be worried. Constantly touching 250 on every single drive would bother me. One point to not forget. I live in N Texas. My outlook is in "hellish" conditions. Weeks above 105 are common. I've seen 117 many times. In England I would expect the 914 to need less cooling as you seldom exceeded 100F. Am I right? I've never been to England. I assume England averages 20F cooler than Texas. |
