[E-Type] S2 Radiator Foam

Royal_Lichter · June 6, 2010, 11:40pm

Hi all,

Does the foam padding on top of the radiator effect cooling at all? I have a brand new one from XK’s and I’m debating whether I want to put it on or not.

Thanks
RL

Thanks George. Thought that might be the case. What’s the best
adhesive to attach it with?

Royal!
On my 69 I took it off and found no difference even in high
heat driving.
I helps to have a good radiator system.–

I have been driving my 71 coupe for 25 years without it. However I
installed the missing foam recently and picked up an extra 4psi oil
pressure …51psi on cruise at 2000 rpm.( I have an oil cooler
mounted lower front of rad), no change in temp, though… mine
always runs in the white lower portion of the temp guage.
Overheating has never been a problem… recored rad and the twin
fan factory setup for th e Ser. 2 … life is good…–

Thank you for the input! I’m not having a cooling problem…however…any Jaguar owner wouldn’t mind an extra few degrees…LOL. No oil cooler on mine. My temp gauge usually runs directly in the middle, maybe a tick to the right. I do have the mike frank fans, too!
