sheepers 18,545 Report post Posted May 31 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheepers 18,545 Report post Posted May 31 Na, it's pretty good and the recovery system seems to be working fine 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mof 11,884 Report post Posted May 31 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheepers 18,545 Report post Posted May 31 And as ive said many times it's got two temp gauges and they both correlate. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tortron 48,427 Report post Posted June 1 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjrstar 2,701 Report post Posted June 21 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheepers 18,545 Report post Posted June 21 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
