You can tell the whole radiator is being used in this position by using a laser thermometer on the opposite side. Or just touch it... There is a divider between the ports inside the tanks. They are just off the shelf universal radiators used in other applications, such a computers. The...

Correct, that is why I prefer to run it "backwards" and have the hot come in at the bottom. There is a divider in the radiator, but they sometimes are not perfect, so hot coming in the bottom, I just trust more and results in several compressors so far show it works. To force it as in a car...

It's easy Drain water Unhook the two water lines Unplug the fan 4 screws in front hold the fan radiator assembly...remove them Remove the drain line Slide radiator fan assembly out Reinstall as in the photo Replace screws and wire for the fan Cut water lines to fit Reinstall drain line And...

The water still exits the water pump to the cylinder head, from the head to the bottom of the radiator and out the top of the radiator to the reservoir. You can switch the hoses around, but I would rather see the water forced up through the radiator and out to the reservoir. This is not like a...

The picture is showing it rotated, from the factory both inlet and outlet are at the bottom.

Bleeding the air pocket out of the cs4 models is simple and easy to do, and it'll result in lower temps, many times significantly. However with about 15 to 20 minutes of work, you can potentially drop up to another 10 degrees. It involves rotating the CS4 radiator and fan. Nice thing, the...

There were a few designs, and if I'm not mistaken, Girandoni injured himself trying to make a repeating firearm. You had rifles with rotating barrels, and rifles that had multiple locks in a row with charges loaded in front of each other. That just looks sketchy:ROFLMAO:. There were the pepper...

When used correctly, they work great. How many posts do we see with people turning the pots from new to "get rid of the air gap". My brother uses his cs4 a lot, he had it for a year and brought it over to have me look at it. Not one time was the grease pot turned, yet nearly half the...

I would venture to say a repeating airgun was more useful than any gun until a firearm that could use shells that were reloadable (unlike the early rimfire) it was superior. The cost to produce an airgun though was most likely hard to overcome. Youu see airguns demise almost immediately around...

They most likely are. As stated earlier, they are NOT desiccant beads of any sort. They are not going to dissolve into your gun. Most likely glass or some other solid material. Remove them and your filter will not work as designed.

I honestly do not know what they are made of exactly. I clean them with soapy water and roll them between paper towels to clean them up. They are a clear to somewhat cloudy in color. The amount of grease I've seen on some is impressive

The beads do not collect water, they create surface area for the water to condense on, when you open the blead valve, it blows that water off of them. To much grease and the beads end up being a big glob in there and no longer will work as intended.

With that much grease, you'll want to take the pressure guage off, remove the brass nut under it and dump out the beads. Clean out the trap, clean the beads and put them back in. You may even have to completely remove the water trap to get them all out. There will be grease in there and the...

The cs4 has roller bearings... even the newer cs2 and cs3 models have roller bearings.

Very nice!
