Subject: Re: M45 Cooling Improvments
Just resurrecting this thread again and with a particular point directed at Julian if he is able to find time to reply.
I see that Historic Competition Services (Julian) currently has a 1939 Delage D6-75 (3 litre straight 6) for sale which seems to have exactly the modification I referred to above. I.E. the water pump seems to blow cooling water in through the back of the head. Presumably the block cools by thermo syphon only.
I just wondered who it was who decided to make this mod and whether it made a lot of difference to the cooling compared to the original system. For those who dont know this type of Delage engine, originally the water pump blew cooling water through a cast iron water rail bolted front to back on the other side of the block.
Julian, if you read this, your thoughts would be interesting when possible!
