Well that is a different twist on cooling the D2. Yes let us know how it works out. Did you test your temps prior so you will be able to tell us of the change later?

Don't know. Truck didn't run. Head gasket was blown between 7-5-3 and the back coolant passage. But that's going to be another post about hiring shade tree mechanics to do work on your Land Rover.

Does not work good. Thermostat that fits in pipe outlet too small. Temperatures are all over the place from 160 to 190.
