I've been keeping an eye on the 6" builds and hope to be able to start on mine sometime later in the year. Some bits n pieces already done, thanks to Royboy for helping out :handgestures-thumbupleft: ....but I digress...
I had a question about your RC...maybe a stupid question but something i was thinking about.....
With the internal cooling lines running through the blockhead void, I was wondering...when you reduce water flow to allow vapour past the RC ....wont that vapour then heat up the internal cooling lines, increasing the temp of the cooling water, effectively reducing cooling/reflux even further....creating a sort of chain reaction??? allowing even more vapour to pass?
My thoughts were that it might be a bit fiddly to get an even take-off. Or am I completely missing something? or will the change in temp be so minor it wont matter? Just curious
Cheers,
Crispy
