Water Systems

C & R Racing manufactures a high-quality circulation system used for cooling hot race engines between practice runs, before qualifying, and even during the race. This circulation system was designed and built to let NASCAR Winston Cup teams cool down their engines between test and qualifying runs without draining the coolant and refilling with cold water. Now they simply plug 2 hoses into a check valve, turn on the circulator unit, and let it cool the hot engine. While this is taking place, the mechanics are free to change springs, shocks, or work on the other areas of the car. Having this unit will increase the amount of track time during testing. Over 90% of the Winston Cup teams use the C & R Water Circulator.

The water circulator has a built in swirl pot/air trap for removing air from the system making this a very effective tool for bleeding air out of the engine and radiator. It has a 37 gallon reservoir and ice can be added for extra cooling needs:

Check Valves

Ford Style Check Valve  

The C & R Water Circulator check valves were designed to insure that water flows through the entire cooling system when using a water circulator. AN sizes have hose end style nut to screw directly to radiator. Ford style installs in lower radiator hose.

Thermo-Check Valve

C & R Racing has designed and developed an in-line water thermostat made for racing. This thermostat was originally designed for our NASCAR qualifying package and has since been used for other applications. For early season when racing in cold weather and also for alcohol burning race engines, this thermostat will maintain temperatures in a range for making peak horsepower. The element in these thermostats are made by Volvo and is the most rugged and durable thermostat element available. These thermostats will maintain water temperatures in the 190 degree range which is very good for peak horsepower.

Our in-line thermostats are available in sizes -12, -16, -20, and 1 1/2" hose sizes. They come  with a -6AN bypass fitting to circulate water through the block before they thermostat opens.

A new product for our water circulator customers is a thermostat that serves as a check valve. These have 1/2" NPT male inlets for quick disconnect fittings.
