DTM and "under cylinder tins", are they fully need

Well E, you have a type 4, so you can just slide the pushrods tubes out without unbolting the head and fit the missing tin.
Finally you can take full advantage of this fantastic type 4 feature!

Don't you feel happy now ?

Have fun!

YUP!

When I was running my 1700cc with the "Cali" conversion, I was running the type 4 under cylinder tins. Seem to work ok. I tried to modify them a bit by opening the outer ends more, not sure if it helped or hurt the setup.

Will definitely install the type 1 ones under the cylinders.

P.S. Wally, let us know about the 2.4

Anything will work "OK"... But why not make it as good as possible???

Developments are made to be used!

Hence why l'm using the type 1 tins now.

Oh, almost forgot, I was able to use the preasure sender with the DTM in the stock location(VDO dual sender Oil preasure/oil light). tight fit, but it fits just fine.

As promised:

As you see, I just sqeezed the edges flat. Removing them would have been neater tho...
Also, the part under the head I cut off in order to resemble it more as the type 1 tin.

Here are they installed under the cylinders:

It's not nicely coated, but clean and I _may_ want to adjust it some more

Greetings,
Walter

Hey Wally, thanks. I was thinking of snipping the outer "ears" ff the stock type 4 tins and bending the middle "diverters" down, to replicate the type 1 setup. Never got around to do it.

Sure looks sweet.

Jake, so type 1 tin under the cylinder on the head side? Again, thanks

Hey Wally.........what kind of cylinders are those???? Are they 911 with redrilled holes??

Wally · Post by **Wally** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 12:22 am

Yes, they are.
964 Nikasils with a 100mm bore. There is an old thread where I have explained the use of those in more detail.

Regards,
Walter

Can someone post a picture of the type 1 under cylinder tin ?
Will the type 1 tins also help cooling with the stock t-4 cooling set up?
Thanks in advance.

Kep the stock tins if you have a STOCK TIV cooling system. It was designed with them....

Off topic: where do you guys measure CHT? plug 3, or head stud near #3?
