Aftermarket cooling lines, bypass systems and fittings, UIM
UIM answers this part for 16 of its classes, and publishes no rule for it in 8 more. 0 of those answers permit the part outright and 11 permit it with stated conditions, leaving 5 that do not. 5 of the ones that do not are classes we read as open rather than as refusing it. 5 are inferred from how the class is written rather than quoted from a rule naming this part. 8 are inherited from a parent class the rulebook points at.
This is one body's answer, not the sport's. You are bound
by whichever body sanctions the event you enter. If you race more than one
series, build to the stricter answer. The differences are set out in
the rulebook comparison.
24 classes, grouped where the same rule gives the same
answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class
that borrows its rules.
8 of them borrow another class’s rules and are marked below; for those, the link to the parent class is read from the categories table rather than stated in the rulebook. 8 publish no rule for this part and name no parent to borrow one from, and are grouped together at the end.
Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
No rule, this is an open class
Probably keep it. The class carries no stock clause at all, so anything unlisted appears to be open. The rulebook does not say so in terms, and this is our reading rather than a permission anybody wrote down.
No rule published for this class
Unanswerable here. This class publishes no rule for the part and names no parent class to borrow one from, which is an absence in the rulebook and not a permission.
Legal, with conditions 3 classes
Water-exit derivations modified or replaced, directed downward and/or rearward. No new water exit on head, cylinder or casing. · 502.01.03
Allowed; four-stroke thermostats and pressure-regulating valves may be bypassed or removed. No fittings added to head, cylinder or casing on four-strokes.
Two-stroke: the cooling system, cooling lines and bypass systems may be modified or aftermarket, with bypass fittings pointing downward and/or rearward. Four-stroke: water-exit derivations may be modified or replaced in the same directions, but no water exit may be added to the head, cylinder or casing. · 502.02.03-08, 502.02.04-04
No component rules are published for this class and no single parent class is named, so this part cannot be answered for it. That is an absence in the rulebook, not a permission.
Aftermarket cooling lines, bypass systems and fittings: if the rule your class applies reads
differently to you, or the rulebook has changed since this was read, ask.
We answer with the section we read it from, or that we have not read it.
