Subject: Re: M45 Cooling Improvments
Morning Bill,

Funny you mention this as we are just rebuilding that engine at the moment via Formhalls. (Which is part of HCS now)
I was over there yesterday discussing this very subject.

We are now converting it back to a more standard setting as the engine used to run at about 80 degrees on the gauge but the block was always reading much higher with the laser gun compared to the head, which is quite logical looking at the cooling flow.
The engine would also run very rough untill fully up to temperature and I think this was partially due to the head being over cooled compared to the block.
This will I am sure be sorted after / during this complete rebuild.
Interesting question and I will follow it up with our findings.

Very best regards,
Julian
