Talking Re: Cause of IC failure?
I have been no pressure Woody since this cooling thing began. Please remember that the I/C varies from -14psi to plus 16 or what ever. That is a differential of 30 psi compression to about zero at full boost with your 16 psi rad. I have zero pressure so I go from -14 to plus 16differential, which is the same SWING if you are following my drift.

I have only plus or minus 16 psi approximately while you go from 30 psi to zero pressure differential. I like mine better as I have half the stress - - divided between + and - pressures. You go from -14 with +16 tank pressure ( 30 psi difference ) to +16 to +16 ( about zero difference). As soon as you lift off the boost you go to full 30# difference instantly, working the tank more.

I plan to do a flow and leak test on a members I/C that failed, so as to gather more understandings. I believe it may be a galvantic problem. More to follow. Enjoy Woody
