    Neu Motor question

    Newb here. Just starting to compile a list of parts for a twin cat build.

    I am looking at a pair of Neu motors.

    My question is, can this motor (as it has a ribbed exterior) still utilize a water cooled jacket? My concern is that a lot of the jackets I have been looking at have O-rings, and I wonder how these would "seal" around those ribs.

    Any thoughts?

    Thx for the help in advance.

    The o-rings will be placed on the motor first and into a cooling fin groove on each end of the motor. The inside of the cooling jacket is smooth, meaning there are no grooves cut into it to hold an o-ring. Put a little grease on the o-rings and the cooling jacket just slips over the motor and o-rings.

    Basically just the opposite of the thinking for a smooth can motor where the grooves are cut into the jacket. I hope that helps straighten it out for you?
