Anyone ever put a watercooled engine in a 6x6? I am considering a watercooled 440 Kawasaki into a late 70`s Max11.Mainly I need opinions on radiator placement.....and if I can keep it cool enough with a electric cooling fan in front of radiator? Or should i just look for another engine? |

hey daron:
liquid cooled engine on aatv sucks!!!!!!...the engine itself is a good piece of equipment...it's just the aplication ( to many vibration, dust, time ( some aatv still bouncing after 30 years!!!) not to mention that a cooland leak during a noman's land ( where aatv soul belong!!) is a bad joke!!!....if you can have an air cooling engine choice.......go for it!!!!!!!
bottom line is that air cooled engine bounces on less break down chances!!! |

IT IS POSSIBLE. ROUTE 6X6 HAD POSTS (IN ITS EARLIER YEARS) OF A COUPLE LIQUID COOLED AMPHICATS. ISAAC, YOU HAVE A POINT. MOTO-CROSS BIKES HAVE LIQUID COOLED 2 STROKES BUT, THEY HAVE SHOCK ABSORBERS! |

I think that argo has had a liquid cooled conquest since 1993 , but that is a ARGO |

hey john: sure, like i post before lliquid cooled engines are mechanical sound but for aatv sucks!!on dirtbikes they goes on air/water free flow exange..other utilize electric fan ( with large ammount of electricity)...meanwhile air cooled engines utilize direct coupled fans ( integrated on flywheeel or direct operated by belt)...and on the long run ( aatv still bouncing after 30 years!!!)....mechanical symplicity ( less and reliable components) must be the goal for aatv...... |

And don't forget weight - the lighter the better! PSI on the ground - that is what it is all about. |
