[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 1532242, member: 718"] I remember using a Ford 5000 engine installed in a Sanderson rough terrain forklift, fitted with a torque converter, at night in a muddy potato field loading boxes of spuds. Not only was the manifold and a big band across the silencer glowing bright orange but there was a short cone of orange gas blowing out of the exhaust when working at its hardest. It was relatively clean [for a Ford] during daylight. Most people don't appreciate the effectiveness of the intercooler in cooling and therefore shrinking the inlet air. This lets more oxygen into the cylinders for a cooler more efficient burn per unit of fuel used. I've seen blocked fins on intercoolers result in fault codes, reduced power, increased engine temperature and fuel consumption. A leaky intercooler pipe would result in reduced pressure and flow of air into the cylinders, resulting in more smoke, less power and increased exhaust gas temperature and fuel consumption [/QUOTE]
