I need to buy some cooling jackets for two UL-1 motors. I normally use the OSE jackets, but I thought that I would see what others are using these days? I really like the looks of the Kintec UL-1 coolers, but they haven't been in stock for a while. What are you using?

These AQ cooling jackets (from the Motley Crew) are dirt cheap and they fit the somewhat tight clearance in the UL-1 just fine.

They are actually a really, really good deal for what you get...they are a bit tight going onto the motor and bit tricky to install sometimes though.Comment

Once the first end (and o-ring) of the water jacket is over the motor, look down inside the water jacket before sliding it further to make sure it's still "in the groove" then slide it down and (again) carefully slide the second o-ring over the end of the motor.
One last thing, I always make sure to start from the shaft end of the motor where there are no screws. if you start from the wire end, you may damage the o-rings sliding them over the screws holding the end bell on.Comment

I bought one because of the multiple inlet/outlet choices and the comparitively reasonable price. And I'll say, modesty aside, that I'm pretty good getting all kinds of jackets on. The new AQ baffled me and after @ 45 minutes and a few torn o-rings I gave up. My guess is that the internal grooves (at least on mine) were too shallow -mass production tolerances & all. If I had overnight to do it, I'd would've used the technique we use to put valve seats in motorcycle heads : put the motor (in this case the spec motor) in the freezer overnight; take out after immmersing the jacket in boiling water for a tad, then have a go at it.2008 NAMBA P-Mono & P-Offshore Nat'l 2-Lap Record Holder; '15 P-Cat, P-Ltd Cat 2-Lap

What about this one? I haven't tried it but it says it will fit the UL-1.

HRC Water Cooling Jacket
Why not the OSE/HRC? Now comes with adjustable 90 degree water fittings...I let the dogs out...Comment

I definitely believe that the new AQ jacket ran some with insufficient groove depth. Fits nicely in my junk draw, tho'.2008 NAMBA P-Mono & P-Offshore Nat'l 2-Lap Record Holder; '15 P-Cat, P-Ltd Cat 2-Lap
