Default RE: *G62 Overheating Or Not*

Man do you think I can find one pic of my Cap from the front? See where the cowl has a sqaure part that comes ut right in the middle of the head? Iwould cut that up higher and show more of the head. On my 3w85 I actually used some depron and made a square that directs air right over the middle of the fins.


The voltage checker you are referring to only puts 250ma or 500ma load on your battery... if you have a field charger set it up for a 1amp discharge and wait 5 mins to see if the voltage drops quickly.

Looks to me like you have not enough of head getting fresh air and not enough room for it to escape.


Here are some pics as I was in the process... after it was done I used fiber finish from Maubid (where is he anyhow) to clean it up
