 Off Road Tweaks Have put in new pistons and barrels also done a few mods. Engine runs but needs to run-in. Fitted some stainless pipes (Lomax? no-heat exchanger). Alternator side needs a new mounting Fabricated and fitted a magnetic clutch for the fan. Can turn it off when required. Moved oil filter and cooler to the bulk-head.

Re: Off Road Tweaks Nice work!
I like the switchable fan, looks like a bloody clever idea that, any videos of it working? Whats the reason behind the remote filter and cooler?

Re: Off Road Tweaks With the new fan v. difficult to have std oil cooler Off roading has blocked cooler with mud. So moved cooler and at the same time did a remote filter. Engine runs OK with new fan but need to road test. Had an electric fan but no where near as efficient as the original.

Re: Off Road Tweaks nice work pete
wouldnt mind getting one of those 'clutchable' fans if they work well.
Well my new recon engine i am trying quite hard not to take in lots of water! i reckon my old engine died because of mud in radiator or over revving.
have you got electric fan on oil raditor?
have you got your tuned pipe on now?

Re: Off Road Tweaks Refitted the LB tuned pipe, sounds raspy again.
No fan on the oil cooler, yet? may not be required
