tortron Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Thermostat measured at fully open temp not start to open temp Quote
sheepers Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 yea, na. none of the thermostats ive tested are even beginning to open at their stated temps. they all seem to be just cracking a few degrees above the stated temp. 1 Quote
sheepers Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Na, it's pretty good and the recovery system seems to be working fine 1 Quote
Mof Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 So maybe not an airlock problem, it should've worked it's way out to the cap or reservoir by now if it was do you think Quote
JoKer Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 is.. (I should click a few pages back) it actually hot? Ie to the touch, or visiulay? maybe ignore the meter / sensor? and roll as is Quote

sheepers Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 And as ive said many times it's got two temp gauges and they both correlate. 1 Quote
yetchh Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Fuck yeah.. Progress. Was totally looking forward to you taking me for a drive in this at nats.. Next time hopefully... Definitely 2 Quote
tortron Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Been watching a bunch of engines getting built in YouTube. One guy had his water jackets half full of goo from what was probably old stop leak. Another had issues with a newish engine always running warm, full of casting sand still Both discovered after knocking out the Welsh plugs and highpressuring it out. Probably you hottanked your block or whatever tho Quote
sheepers Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 sounds pretty ace when your driving it too. 2 Quote
kyteler Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Must have been a relief to find the timing issue. Good shit. 1 Quote

mjrstar Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Is the consensus that the max retard was the root of the temperature issues? Sounds rather glorious it's safe to say, you must be stoked.. 1 Quote

sheepers Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 hard to say exactly tbh. temps did drop once we'd sorted the timing issue, but they were getting better all the time. the more load and running it saw the better it got. so maybe a combo tight new motor and timing issue caused it? i did learn that you cant use the trigger wire to the coil as the trigger for your timing light because it gives a false reading. i dont know by how much, couple of degrees i would imagine. but it is false. 2 1 Quote
