Liquid cooled warrior

[hawkster0001]

Been thinking About this slot lately and I noticed that the kodiak 400 in 97 had th warrior style motor then around 2003 it had a liquid one. The cylinder and head look very similar 2 valve ohc the only difference I find is tha in the liquids they bring the bore from 83 (386) to 84.5 (401) the cylinders in put for water is on the cylinder and has no dependency from the Craig case from what I tell any thoughts?

Call me a party pooper but I think this cylender has to wide of a bolt pattern but I might be wrong

 

[hawkster0001]

Yah I might ask the guy selling it the distance of the bolts

 

[elwood]

the height of the the jug might be different also since it has a different stroke then the warrior. So it may require a crank swap also

 

[duneracerweston]

Stroker oh ya

 

[hawkster0001]

hot rods makes a 7mm stroker crank which brings it to 71.5 stroke exact same as kodiak. the bore is 84.5, i dont know if they make 84.5 pistons for a warrior, or if you would use the kodiak piston, int hat case then it comes to whether or not there diameter for the pin and everyhting is right, but that could be machined if it wasnt.

Could probably just bore it to 85mm and stay with a warrior piston.

 

[hawkster0001]

yah the head looks the same, youd have to use a stroker piston i assume not just a 85mm standard stroke warrior piston

 

[duneracerweston]

Why not the jug was made for that stroke

 

[hawkster0001]

Don't know for sure the jug is any taller would half to measure and compare,

 

[duneracerweston]

It would be sick to have a luiqid cooled warrior I'm have tmpted to make one

im guessing you guys havent thought about a water pump?

electric external pump maybe something like this http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-pumps-water/shurflo-pumps.htm or maybe like this http://www.jcwhitney.com/12-volt-electric-water-pump/p2003258.jcwx

 

[duneracerweston]

The water pump is the easy part you would still haVeto figure out how to mount a radiator and fan and thermastat

mount the radiator same spot as peeps mount the oil cooler with a pull fan under it. Might be able to get away without a thermastat, just take longer to warm up, but the fan can ce set on a toggle switch to help with warming

 

[duneracerweston]

I was wondering why can't you run a oil cooler too cuzz your taking away from the cooling and adding to the cooling the question would be if you gained more from liquid cooling the air cooling to not need a oil cooler

 

[elwood]

it run both maybe mount one of the coolers like Gasman had his (right behind the screen on his front bumper) here is a link to it http://www.yfm350.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21146

 

[duneracerweston]

its a good idea but id beworried about it eating tomuch dirt and getting a hole or being damaged
