Re: cylinder jug air deflectors-use or not?

It's hard to see in the pictures, but the top duct is not typical. It's open in the front and back, so the air travels straight across the top of the cylinders. The bottom duct is sealed well, and is basically the same as most vees. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3111/3685365438_9507e7b643.jpg?v=0 h...

Re: cylinder jug air deflectors-use or not?

I do not use the deflectors, the main cooling is from the bottom, and the top duct forces warm air out of the engine cover.

Re: Tire Pressure Question

I did my school last year and rented a car, it's the way to go unless you have some help. In most schools, you get out of the class room and jump right on the track. You might have time to put a splash of gas in the car... but if it's raining, and you need to change tires... you'll miss a session.

Re: Painting brake drums

Most people say do not paint the rim mounting area of the drums. For the rest of the area...that you can paint... I wipe them down with brake cleaner first and then use Surface Prep, you can find it in most auto paint stores. It's used by body shops to prep metal for paint and helps the paint adhere.
