BigBen,

The base plate thickness is about 2-3mm max. I can increase the number of holes if that would help, in my next block. How can I make a heat load tester? Moreover, what would be the math to calculate the ideal thickness?

For rad, I am using a Heater Rad, which comes in small three cylinder hatchbacks (like Suzuki Alto). It is made of Cu. The coolant would be normal car's rad coolant. In addition, for the pump, I have not calculated its flow rate as I am making a reservoir for it from brass.

I am going to post pics as soon as it is in running condition.

Brain,

By increasing surface area, you mean, to increase water flow channels i.e. more holes?

Thanks again, all.
