Engine Cooling

[winky]

I remember reading one of the threads posted here (or maybe it was the rennlist forum) on engine cooling. Some kind soul had managed to do some modication to the tin work in the engine which he claims improves cooling and has shared it with all of us. Apparently, it's not exactly accessible and can only be done when the engine is dropped. I remember there was a pretty good description and some diagrams. As I intend to drop my engine soon, I might want to try the suggestion. I can't seem to find the thread. Anyone out there recall where the thread is and more importantly, anyone tried out the suggestion and does it work ???

Hey Warren, thanks for the article - it was exactly what I was looking for. Reading the article, it said that the modification was applicable to all 911s built before March 1977. I have a 1988 3.2 Carrera. Do you know if the modification is not suitable for my car ? Don't underestand why it should not be. Thanks again.

After '77, all of the 911 engines had this modification incorporated into their engine tin.
