Hemi Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 that sweet as mang , when you gave it a squirt may have been the thermostat actually opening and the lower temp as siad by cam, uncle jake and myself before may have been from the coolant flowing through the block more efficiantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 ok, thermostat in, the stat was a standard jobby, 85 dergrees, my temp gauge must be fairly accurate cos the temp rose up to 85 then came back to 70, drove from west to penrose on the motorway just cruising and it got up to 90, gave it a squirt for a bit 4000rpmish and the temp came back to 70-75, so i guess this would indicate not enough airflow? my escort has'nt had the holes drilled in the front panel like some others, but a definate improvement with the stat, thanks again guys! and also the mixture is all good if anything its a bit rich As The Mongoloid said - this sounds perfect . Well done.If it starts getting above 100 deg. C. in the summer a bit more airflow or a higher spec radiator cap may be in order.

d.p.n.s Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 i had the same problem on my vl commonwhore and all that was the guy that had it befor me put a thremo fan on it and it was on all the time between the rad and motor pushing air out the front and then when you start driving it was fighting the air flow threw it so i just turned the fan around and put it on a switch and on the open rd you didnt need it on at all. or it could have just been the fact it was a commonwhore lol dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
