Water cooled head for FL350R engine
« on: October 24, 2022, 07:55:02 AM »
Hi all, I’m looking for a Water cooled head for FL350R engine. Anyone have information on them and where to buy one, or a kit including the radiator?

General information, if the radiator is mounted just above the engine head, as in the Pilot fl400r, would it need a water pump or would temperature convection suffice?

Here is the head.

I can check if we have any more radiator kits left. It is listed as out of stock, but I think I ran across some old stock.

Our setup does not need a pump. For it to work, you need:
radiator above head
radiator with vertical tubes
lowest point of head connected to lowest point of radiator
highest point of head connected to highest point of radiator
ideally, hose never dip in the middle or go above the ends

It is the same concept as convection, but called thermosyphon with liquid. It will flow faster than some may think and it will self regulate without a thermostat. The hotter it gets, the faster the water will flow.
