Nov 14th "day 33 sheet"

1 The affect of antifreeze on the radiator size is that with more glycol it has less ambient capability, about 1.8F for each 10% up to 50%. So with more antifreeze in the system you would need a larger radiator.

2 Detonation is when the fuel/air ignites and the flame front travels across the chamber. The end fuel gets too hot from compression from the flame front, a hot spot, bad fuel and combusts.The two flames collide and create a ping or "knock".
 
3 Deciding on when to service your machine should come from usage. how much how many hours and what conditions your working in.
 
4 “Combustion air flow requirements will vary, depending on the specific engine model and rating. Specific air flow data for Caterpillar engines is given in both…” Volumetric and mass readings.
