[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 15665636, member: 9628"] While flushing my engine and S/C cooling systems recently, I did multiple drain the systems, blow the systems out, refill the systems and run to operating temp, burp and repeat, just to be sure the systems were fully flushed and new fluid was in the systems (or as much as possible). After reading this thread a few months ago I decided that "while doing the complete flush and refills" and running the systems up to operating temp. would be a Great time to verify what amount of fluid flow I had at the small hose on the top of the degas tank. After multiple times of allowing the engine cooling system to stabilize/degas and getting the fluid level to the correct oem recommended cool level when cold and high level when hot, I did not experience much if any coolant flow at that small degas hose. I placed the hose end in a clear jug multiple times and found very little coolant. When I put clean water in that same jug, there was a small amount of air/gas that came out of the end of that hose, but that was it. To cool that LC blower, there should be a steady stream of coolant flowing through and carrying heat away. Since I have a brand new 3.6LC that is for a future install on my car, I am def. interested in cooling options for this blower, but I also know that if there is minimal fluid flow through the LC blower, than basically it is not gaining anything beyond what a non-LC blower experiences, air cooled inlet with the fresh air flow coming in, and hot front where the air is compressed and pushed out. That is the whole reason for the LC system, to stabilize the temp across the blower case, air cooled at the back (inlet) and liquid cooled at the front (outlet). When I get a chance, maybe this week, I plan on calling KB (Mike or Dave)and see what their thoughts are on cooling the LC blower, since they designed and tested the LC system originally. I know that they use the I/C cooling system in their instructions, but do they (as the manufacturer) suggest the engine cooling system as an option? <<<Maybe they do, and that is what I want to find out................and then pro's and con's of using the two different cooling system choices for the LC blower.
