A netter asked about why the batteries explode: generally in the auto world my
experience has been that the times they have exploded on me, and there have
been several, is the battery generally is either shorted internally, and
ignites the charging gases, or vapors get trapped and some other catalyst
ignites the vapors. Not to say that this is always the case, but all of them
that I have seen have been older batteries in rough shape/not taken care of.
Serge, even though your engine gets most of its cooling from the oil
system, if your baffles are not in the proper position, then your temp is going
to sky rocket. The engine needs all of its means of cooling, oil, airflow, and
exhaust. Any of those not configured properly will lead to higher than normal
temps.
