Intake manifold temperature
Does anyone know what maximum temperature the top of the fuelie intake base-plate might reach?
Thanks,
Mike

Short answer: No. I don't know.
Somewhat longer: I would expect the temperature to be somewhat higher than coolant temperature because of hot oil splash on the bottom side of the plate.
Are you having fuel perc problems?

OK, all seriousness aside, the CF member who can actually help you is Charles Bernhart. He has done a lot of 3D printing and he has discovered the temperature limits of readily available filaments. Reach out to him.

Thanks Jim. I think you’ll be interested in what I’m doing. I’ll bring it here when I get a bit farther along.

Thanks for the help.
Yep. I was talking about the rear coolant passages. It makes sense to have ambidextrous heads. I ask because I'm going through my engine and want to pick up a new intake, my old one is showing her age,,, like me. I believe I saw a few choices with provisions for rear crossover for coolant. I recently retired and finally have time to do some research. Thanks!

I think the above poster may have the wrong thread.
In any case, this is a good time for an update: it appears that I’d have to get a much better 3d printer to work with nylon, so that method is on hold for now.
I’ve been told my new raw materials for this project have arrived at my Michigan home.
I won’t be in Michigan until Saturday to check them out, but we have progress!
