Oh, my mistake, when you were saying the runners were not long enough I was thinking across not up and down, but I now have a thought, would it be to hard to have the pump push from the bottom instead of from the top? If you can route the pump to push from the bottom that would definatly slow the flow.
It's worth the 8 bucks to see before spend big bucks on a radiator.
I have never seen those restricters. What effect will they have at low RPMs. Will they cause the opposite problem, too slow at lower rpms?
One more question. What track width do you have. Just curous. Thanks Willy Nilly.PS love the jeep, gets better and better with time. Oh and what happened to the origional cage that wen all the way to the back rather than diped down after the seats?

Quick update. I made a restrictor today with a 5/8" hole and tested it out. It seemed to help keep the temp below 190* at a modeate speed, but seem to get hot at a slower speed. I increased the size to 3/4" and without test driving it seems to stay at 180*. I will drive it tomorrow to see what it does.I was looking at this radiator and it looks like the front and back rows are split because the inlet and outlet are on the same tank.I would think the back row would be first and loop back around through the front for more cooling.I also see it only has 10 sq in more aera.
One thing that I wasnīt happy with after the bigger radiator (donīt know if this will affect you)I have a turbo and an intercooler on my diesel. I have a pyrometer on that turbo. and before the radiator if My pyrometer showed 700° c the water temp was not affected as soon as the temp went above 700°c it started to show on the water, and if I wasnīt carefull I had to take it easy for 15-20 minutes to let the water Temp go down....... after the bigger radiator my pyrometer can go way hier (so hi it is scary) have seen numbers like 1000°c + (then I turned it off and ditnīt wanna know) But I have never had any problems with the water temp. I donīt know how the blower works but I would like to know is this something you should be thinking about?
It looks like there is a seam 1/2 way up, something like that would possible slow it down some as it passes through twice before heading back into the engine.
my truck cimply doesnīt smoke unless at high altetide (glaciars) when the air is thinner and colder...you can tho see a litle black smoke when I am taking off at low rpm. Dit I get this wrong do you have a turbo???I also installed some air wents on the hood above the turbo
I think I found a core that will work. It is a 2 row 20"wide x 21 1/2" tall x 2 1/4" thick.This will give me 430 sq inches over the 336 sq inches I have now.I think I will make it into a two pass radiator as well for good measure.
So if you get this that'll make one more auto manufacturer we can add to the list of donors to the Willy Mammoth. I noticed that it goes to a Ford at the bottom of the page there.
I am getting somewhere around 7-9 psi If I remember correctly it goes just above 0.5 bar I think the bar is 14 psi. (It has been so long since I have driven my truck that I am starting to forget things like that )
