i
ption and Operation
Engine Cooling Comp onents - Normally Aspirated Vehicles

Engine cooling is via a low volume, high velocity system which achieves a very fast warm up. The temperature of the
combustion chambers is reduced along with a more even temperature distribution. The temperature of the bores is increased.

F r
om the pump, coolant flows into each bank of the cylinder bl
ock. In each bank, approximately 50% of the coolant cools the
cylinder bores and the remainder is diverted th rough the bypass gallery to the cylinder head.
With the thermostat closed, coolant returns directly to the pump through the bypass on the thermostat housing.
With the thermostat open, coolant returns to the pump via the radiator.
The cooling system uses a mixture of water and Jaguar Anti-Freeze/Inhibitor (Dow 542).
The cooling system on a supercharged engine is similar, but has additional components for cooling the intake air.
