Tech A says that diesel engines equipped with water manifolds have more even actual cylinder temperatures. Tech B says that in engines not equipped with water manifolds, the cylinders closest yo the radiator are likely to run warmer when the engine is at operating temperatures. Who is correct?


Tech B only

Tech A says that downflow radiators use a double pass flow principle. Tech B says that a counterflow radiator uses double pass flow routing? Who is correct?


Belt tension gauge

What should always be used to adjust fan belts?


Tech B only

Tech A says that the first step to take when troubleshooting an engine overheating conditioning is to remove the radiator shroud to permit unimpeded air flow through the engine compartment. Tech B says that an engine overheat condition could be a missing or damaged radiator shroud. Who is correct?
