Cooling System Mods

Another place to look is the flashing left over on the irons from the mold. I go through and clean all of the excess metal off to smooth out the flow.

You actually release more thermal energy with turbulant flow (not saying removing the flashing is a bad thing, just that it would be better to cause turbulence in the coolant stream so that lower energy coolant comes in contact with more surface area).... did I make any sense at all?

Yes it does. I would like to use computer heat-sink type devices on the flat surfaces next to the plugs.

Fin type (copper)?

To minimize dissimilar metal corrosion we should stick with aluminum.

That's what I was curious about.
