Re: [T3] Cooling conundra


oofacts=> Wait a minute, I'm unclear here. 

The air that would be flowing to your heat exchangers is *cooling* air 
when it arrives. After absorbing waste heat from the exchangers it 
becomes heating air at your feet. The source of heat in your exchangers 
is the exhaust, and without cooling air from your fan the aluminum heat 
exchangers can overheat.

When you turn the heat off in the car, you flip a valve that just dumps 
the air from the exchangers outside. Air continues to flow over the 
fins.

=> Are you saying that it's bad for the heat to go from the very hot 
=> heat exchangers to the heads, or good? 

Except at warmup time, more heat to the heads is always bad.
