[QUOTE="2012 Boss 302, post: 12622489, member: 137895"] [b]Read first, then think about it, and then comment....[/b] First, make this perfectly clear, I am not at all agreeing or disagreeing with MMR. They have done a lot of testing and research and they should be applauded for trying to fix what is obviously a problem. My first question involves the picture I posted earlier. The area around Cylinder 8 obviously does not have the volume that Cylinders 5-7 have. Look at the coolant flow picture posted after mine. Painfully obvious that coolant flows through the block first, exits into the head, and returns to the radiator through the fitting at the front of the head. [SIZE=3][B]My question, is it not so much a lack of flow but slow flow?? [/B]This would cause the coolant around #8 to get superheated. Maybe??[/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] Second question is going to involve some work on the reader's part. Google a picture of the right side head, aka the passenger's side head. Cylinder #4 also seems to lack the volume as cylinder #8 does on the other side. [SIZE=3][B]Question. Why is it only cylinder #8 having problems? [/B]If the heads do in fact have the same design wouldn't it make sense that 4 would be an issue as well?? [/SIZE] Third question. [B][SIZE=3]We know cylinder 8 is an issue, let's just hypothetically throw in that cylinder 4 could also be a problem. By tying the two cylinders together, [COLOR=red]and not adressing the lack of volume between cylinder 8 and cylinders 5-[/COLOR][COLOR=red]7[/COLOR][COLOR=white], wouldn't that just double the amount of hot water in cylinders 4 and 8 ?? [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/B] Fourth and last question. [B][SIZE=3]Wouldn't it make more sense to maybe drill and tap the coolant passages on cylinders 4 and 8 and run a line to the front? [/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] Thank you for your time. I am not an engineer of any sort. Just throwing some ideas on the table... :pop: [/QUOTE]
