A mate just installed a Glind shower in his 1HZ Troopie and when he compared his install to the one in my 100 series (1HZ), he reckons the flow through the heat exchanger is the wrong way round in mine. When I'm heating cold water, the water is never quite hot enough to shower in unless you slow the flow through the shower rose, so it got me thinking that it could be arse about. If the coolant flow comes from the drivers side of the block, then mine is installed correctly, but if it goes the other way, should I expect the shower to never be hot enough?

I've checked out the Glind site and it talks about installations in vehicles with heater taps in the heater hoses. Any ideas about 100's? Also, a valve is installed in the pipe between the engine and the heat exchanger, but shutting it off doesn't result in one side being hotter than the other and confirming which way the cooland flows. Any ideas anyone? and thanks in advance,

Andrew
