still overheating
changed thermostat to 180, changed hoses, added elec fans, both come on at pre set 190*, changed out OLD water pump to a hi flow water pump, installed new water temp guage....: thermostat opens at 180, fans kick on at 190. BUT i cant go for very long in town, seems still gets too hot ( 210 + ) and still spews... found rear freeze plug under starter now has a leak...
Any thoughts out there...? I have a 22" 4-row alum rad, 2 10" fans Thanks in Advance for the feed back and advice |
Should have put the 26" rad in when you put the aluminum rad in !!! IT gets HOT in Lancaster.. Do you have the fan shroud installed ??
|
Pete -
How did you set up the electric fans? Did you flush the system? Archer |
fans preset to come on at 190*, have 180 TS and it opens at 180, then both fans kick on at 190 fans . I cant go anymore distance than a few miles out in town and back
|
yes flushed the sys, i had to take to shop to replace a freeze plug that started to leak
|
Again, Thanks in Advance for all of your advice
|
Where do you have the timing set to? The timing being too retarded/late will cause overheating!
|
All great points....Also have it tested for a head gasket problem...

Pulleys
Are You under driving the water pump ? -- The crank pulley should be larger than the water pump pulley to cool properly. -- Just another thought.
