Not that I’ll necessarily have such a significant wattage setup right off, but I’m really thing about this for the long haul i.e. I would like this quasi-external setup to be used as-is for the next half decade or so.

Any thought on this?


Also, can heatercore orientation give you trapped air issues? I heard of one case where an inverted heatercore prevented proper bleeding.

I ask because I may end up laying the heatercores on their sides. My thought is that it will probably be easier to find a 8.77” x 6.417” (HxW) heatercore and just lay it on its side than to find a 8.77” x 6.417” (WxH) heatercore.


Big thanks for the help,
