Can anyone tell me the pros and the cons of using copper pipe in the water cooling system of a BBF?

Thanks in advance,
Greg

I thought it would look pretty cool, polished up, clear coated, and manifolds made to go to the header water inlet pipes.

A clear powder coat would stop that.  I think I'll try it for the Header pipes, where the water enters.  I really don't like this system.  Small tube means it could plug up.  Oh, it did plug up on the last owner and that's why the pipes are blue.


I'll let you know how it goes.

So, I guess I'll start with a manifold for the exhaust pipes.


I'll let you you know how it goes.

Thanks.

p.s.  Don't drink so nothing lost.   >:D
