Seems like the "X" years cycle may be coming around again so in being proactive, I have gone thru the entire cooling system (FWC) to clean and drop temps back to normal. Port side started to reach 170 at prolonged cruise
1.) During the cleaning (poking that brass brush into all of thos heat exchanger core holes) process, I began to wonder if there may be a different RAW water pump that can directly replace the E35 and provide a higher volume of cooling water thru the system. Does anyone have any clue?
2.) I have asked before and have read hundreds of posts about exhaust steam. I THINK the answer is that: cooling raw water in the U-cooler is reacting to the heated areas inside and THAT is how this exhaust steam is produced...IS THIS CORRECT?
3.) Would my thinking that a greater flow volume of cooling water would keep the overall heat level below a point that it steams?
To Don K...That little brush is a pleasure to use and I think of you each time I use it....works great! Thanks
