Tip for a cooler engine

[Yokomo99]

I have a little mod that I do that helps transfer heat from the head button to the cooling fins. Just add a thin smear of heat sink compound on the top of the head button before bolting the fins on. This will increase the rate of heat transfer between the two parts. I use Arctic Silver paste but any heat sink compound will do.

Hi,

welcome to the forum!! I just used some heat sink compound around the temp sensor for my radio so it would give me better readings (closer to what I get on the IR gun), never thought of using it for that though.


thanks

Heat sink compound works great, I use it on electronics daily. It's just a pain in the butt if you have to clean it off anything.

I don't notice a drop in temp but I can run a quarter turn leaner at the same temp.
