Reply to "Cooling tins"

I agree with those that say to use the regular T1 air deflectors. The so called super cool tins are copied from the T3 and T4 air deflectors that were designed specifically for the way the cooling air was being moved via the fan setups. I have never seen a study to show proof of the super cool tins working better, only sales hype. In your case you can't go wrong using the correct air deflectors for you T1 engine.

As said above ,seal the engine compartment and make the cool top half of the engine as air tight as possible from the bottom hot side of the engine and you will be rewarded greatly with a cool running long wearing engine. It breaks my heart when I see a VW powered vehicle that has all the tins removed and an 8 inch opening all around the engine. The hot air from the fan blowing over the engine gets recirculated over and over super heating the engine. All the heat from the exhaust is pulled up and unto the fan as well. SEAL THAT ENGINE COMPARTMENT! not doing this is Probably the biggest killer of VW air cooled engines. My rant is over LOL...
