cooling system are needed to take full advantage of the possibilities. I looked
at this when I was studying the possibility of running the TDi engine at about
30 degrees hotter than the stock design. Concluded the additional thermal
efficiency wasn't a good enough response for the engineering investment. The
Evans approach is an excellent solution to cavitation problems and localized
overheating points. Haven't looked at waterboxer seal compatibility of thermal
stresses.
