Stacey Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Wondering how you would slow the flow of coolant? giving a hotter water flowing through the motor, how about a different size water pump pully? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW!...I think that change in water pump pulley diameter is a very interesting thought!......However, that isn't the answer to this! Any other thoughts on this one?.....HINT...Internal engine!!
