Brassik, we need to tighten the convoy's engine specs—any ideas on how to trim the heat output without sacrificing torque?

Fine, put a high‑efficiency intercooler on the intake, run the injectors at a slightly leaner ratio, and replace the stock radiator with a copper‑aluminum hybrid. That will shave the exhaust temps without dipping torque. Just make sure the oil cooler stays within specs. Keep the system sealed and the bearings at their optimum preload, and you’ll cut the heat while keeping the power.

Looks solid. Just double‑check the oil cooler flow curve and keep that bearing preload tight. We'll stay under the temp ceiling and keep the power up.

Oil cooler on the lower curve? Fine. Check the pressure differential, tweak the baffles if the flow drops below 30 L/min. Preload the bearings at the factory torque plus a half turn; you’ll avoid creep and keep the stator smooth. That’s the only way to stay under the ceiling without a power penalty.

Got it, will run the checks and tweak the baffles as needed. We'll keep the flow over 30 L/min and stay under the ceiling.

Good. Keep the checks systematic, no improvisations. Once the flow’s steady, lock the adjustments and log the numbers. That’s all the rig needs.

Will set up a log sheet, run the checks in order, lock the adjustments once the flow’s steady, and document the numbers for the rig. No improvisations.
