If you think that adding diffusers to the air exits on the bottom of the heads and cylinders is just too far out there then try looking at it after seeing the extreme this guy went to improve cooling ...

The articles are in depth studies of cylinders from the radial engine of 1930's vintage. They are very much like ours as you can see from the photos within the articles.

The conclusions are quite ...

Hi Gary,
The baffles you developed and got approved are very well done. I think they are resposible for a lot of the cooling improvement my Tiger has. I've been doing some reading lately and found a ...

Anybody find out anything about this nozzles applicability for a Tiger?

Gary,
