Absolutely true, an experience learned when I built the boat generator.
I

cooled engine by machining a new head and installing a stainless band

the cooling fins after major alteration on a rotary table. The
engine ran
much quieter once converted to water cooling.

Harold, do you have any pictures of your conversion?
I've though about doing something similar but keeping the valve area
cool looks to be a cast-iron bitch.

Pictures. Post pictures Harold. Please? I have also thought of doing a gen
that I
have here at the shop. That, and an auger.g

Way to go, Michael. Expose me for the idiot I am! I have absolutely no
clue how to post pictures here. I'm not sure I'm even smart enough to do
it with guidance, but I'm open to suggestion.

You and that damned auger! What is it, you never seen any 17-4 stainless
machined? vbg
