Max water pressure with a crossover bypass system?
Ok, after receiving some good advice here about water crossovers and thermostat bypasses, I have made changes to my setup and hopefully it'll work.
What I did was to add a 3/4" hose between the crossover and the thermostat housing cover. Also, I drilled two 1/8" holes in the thermostat bases as well.
I'm worried about overpressurizing the cooling system with the thermostat closed. I figure running the engines at idle or low rpm till the thermostats open will eliminate any problems.
That said, what is the maximum water pressure I should be comfortable with?
Thanks,
Greg
