That is interesting, and raises thoughts on fitting a PRT. As I have said, the plumbing arrangements would need to be carefully worked out beforehand.
Just added up the cost- £284.70 including VAT, if all hoses and T pieces were purchased. £85.20 of that is for one single hose. The total is almost the cost of a stainless steel exhaust, which I’d rather have. I may consider a change to an 82c thermostat instead.
But first I will have the fan speeds checked out instead of risking overheating by trying to get them to cut in myself. If they are okay and cut in at about 104c, then I shall accept that this engine runs at 93c.
Later this week I begin to dismantle and re-build a Standard Diesel engine-a different ball game altogether.
