Liquid Cooling Finally Gets Wings
    Liquid Cooled Air Power introduces two "new" liquid-cooled engines, the Lycoming 0-360 and 0-540 engines with parallel valve cylinders that can be used in both existing and yet-to-be-designed aircraft. Called Cool Jugs, it is a conversion that is a bolt-on kit that will convert virtually any parallel valve 0-360 or 0-540 to a liquid-cooled system in a minimal amount of time.
    The conversion requires no internal engine modifications, and no existing reciprocating/moving components are changed at all. The conversion creates only one additional moving part, the coolant pump, which is driven via a standard accessory pad.

    The company claims that liquid-cooled engines have a better reliability and longer top-end component life, which translates to longer times between overhaul. The company also says that fuel efficiency and engine performance increases.
