<VV> Cooling

[lonwall@corvairunderground.com]

Yeah, the electric cooling bit has not been solved.

Yes, there are a few out there who claim they've done it - but.........

My bottom line is, why no progress in producing such a system if the 
"bugs" have been worked out? I've seen some of these systems and been 
told that they work. Unfortunately they don't work 100% of the time. 
Even if you design a system that works 99.9% of the time and fails the 
other .1% of the time you have failed. It's like setting up your piston 
clearance just a little too tight. There won't be problem in 100,000 
cycles. It's that 1 time out of the 100,000 that will fry the engine.

Bottom line - your piston clearance doesn't work because it fries engines.

But if an electric system could be designed to be 100% safe 100% of the 
time would we have 'won"?  Not unless some sort of gain could be 
achieved.  Where's the "gain"?  Oh, not flipping fan belts.  You know 
what I think of that "problem".

Robson spring loaded idlers are in stock. Ask the man who races with them.
