robola 46 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Posted June 15, 2011 I’ve been driving around with the engine covers for some weeks now. The first days when I drove, I opened the bonnet every little trip, and check out the heat. Offcourse it gets hot under there, but especially the left side, where the intake manifold is. To catch the biggest heat, I came up with this: 8mm thick aluminum slats, and bought some 2mm facet aluminum. I planted the uppermill onto the aluminum slats and rounded the edges. You can do this tight and easy by taping a round piece of aluminum on there, and then hold it to the copy-mill BEFORE; AFTER; Then I milled a slanting side on it. Tapped some screw-thread to fasten the alu slats, and this is the result A robolop cooling-element...LOL This aluminum will catch a lot of heat from the manifold Here you can see how the cooling-ribs are placed next to the engine The entire element is about 6cm away from the motor. You can also see why there are some slanting sides at the bottom. The airco- tubes run there. It’s also a good solution for not seeing those ugly tubes anymore Here you notice that I rounded the fiberglass cover here and there. The primer which I sprayed on now is from a simple spray-can. I did this on purpose to see if there aren’t any little splits or cracks evolving from the heat. I also didn’t think the spray-can paint will hold , cause of the heat of the engine, but it still looks as tight now, as when I sprayed it on. Once the testing-fase is over, I’m rubbing the paint off, and I’m spraying some epoxy primer on there, like it did to my brakes.

Afrodeezyak Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 just went through this whole thread once again to soak in the jaw dropping craftsman ship. Ive loved these cars for a few years now and might be picking one up later this year, would love to get an M3 but if i could get something a quarter as nice of yours i would more than happy. Your work is very inspiring
