J-Tube heat deflector tins pics and dimensions Changed Title

[70-CA-Panel]

(Edit: Changed Heading for better reference)

Hi All,

I've got an industrial 1600 engine 126 code and it came with what I think extra tins below the heads.
First there's a little piece of tin where the thermostat rod goes through, this is on the bottom of both heads, see below.
Is this normal or should I remove it?



Then there are tins on both sides below the head and it separates the J-tube or heatexchanger from the area below the pushrods. Is this a good thing keeping the area below the cylinders from getting heat from the heatexchangers?
Or should I remove these?







Thanks

Andy

The lower tins were fitted on industrial engines that had J tubes and not heat exchangers. They help deflect the warmth of the J tubes. I am after a set if you want to part with it :msn4:

The bit on the cylinder head helps seal up the gap between cylinders and therefore forces the air over the fins a bit more.

Hey George,

I thought the thermostat pushrod tins might have been on all heads, wasn't sure though.

I thought the lower tins would be quite helpful keeping the cylinders and head a bit cooler.

So these are not standard then, it's been awhile since I took my tins off...

These tins are very basic, no welded nuts on them. I can trace them off for you to fab up if you like.
Alternatively if you can guarantee to have them back to me by the end of the week I can send you them to use as templates.

Cheers.

Hi Andy, if you can do me a template that would be ace!

Hi George,

I'll try to trace them with dimensions for you today and will post photos of it on here tonight.
Mind you I'm not a technical draughter...

Cheers.

Hey guys,

below are a few pictures and dimensions.
Let me know if you need any other measurements.
Pictured is the tin below cylinders 3 & 4, the other tin will be cut out exactly the same but the bends should be going the other way if that makes sense.

Front view -



Sketches were traced off the tin and measured with a tape.

Full length and width needed for tin, pecked lines are bends with description of direction -



Full sheet -



Section left closeup -



Section right closeup -



Section with holes, please mind that it was traced upside down, so look on the right side the 2mm and 6mm should be flipped -



Let me know if you need anything else.
I can send the sheet if needed.

Cheers.

Andy

Read this One with interest as run J tubes but as at work can't run down the drive to see if I've got the tin..... had a look on Deimos site and can only see the head deflectors on there, am I missing some thing Dave or do you know of another place that sells the rest ? cheers for the heads up !
