Hi guys,
Just starting to look into why my L26 is running hot..just want to get your ideas before i go buying a heap of new parts
Background
Old L26 6 cylinder in my Gloria is running hot (sits at 3/4 on the gauge on the open road, just over half on around town)
Its never gone past the 3/4 mark, but being that my old engine used to sit around 1/4 and barely get close to 1/2 i am a little concerned...
It currently doesn't have a thermostat in it, i tried putting one it but it just started to cook itself (went above the 3/4 mark) with a thermostat in
When i put he engine in the Water pump seemed to be in good order
I have been told the radiator was in good condition (I trust the person who told me) i have checked it out and i tend to agree
The viscous van works, i even have a electric fan on the switch hooked up aswell
So what else does that leave to be making the engine run hot??
thanks in advance
Nathan
