Greetings,
I know this topic has prob been covered to death but lets think of this
as keeping you guys on your toes.
Don Smythe and i did alot of work in DC / VA Beach area 10-15 years ago
when i first got mine running.
Has anyone considered a larger reservoir and i did see one post where
someone actually found a larger radiator. Ideas on larger radiator??
In the lockwood book i noticed a reservoir and other venting but to my
knowledge other than LOWERING my radiator into the airflow i have what i
think is 'stock'.
Just taxiing to end of runway i will reach near 200.
I currently have a 4x20 radiator with small scoop under engine.
I have a cab heater ported off lines and i have the fill cap with no
real reservoir.
New engine just broke in and only taxied to the point of liftoff on a
long runway to check various numbers.
Regards,
Jared

With my 582 I had to pull the scoop and lower the radiator 1". Otherwise
I couldn't taxi without overheating. "Stock" radiator. (Probably 4x20)
No reservoir. 180 thermostat. I also was very careful to insulate the
water pump line from the exhaust heat.

I had the same experience with my 912S. Ran fine without the scoop but overheated
within minutes after takeoff with it installed. Never got to the bottom of
the issue, just left it off.
