CUL8R Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Is the radiator lower than the old one - you could have air blocks in the system creating hot spots? Does it have a shroud as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1RTY6 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Cheers ill have a hunt round see if i can find a mechanical temp gauge to borrow see if its that, hoping its not the head gasket Is the radiator lower than the old one - you could have air blocks in the system creating hot spots? Does it have a shroud as well? No radiator is the same height, same thing happened with the standard radiator aswell. the standard radiator had a shroud the new one doesnt, but again the problem happened with the other radiator aswell.

brocky41 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Water pump been out on this engine - fins tend to fall off the old ones - also wire up an aftermarket guage - even a $30 repco one just to see where it sits actual temperature wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBreeze Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 System got any air in it? I tend to use a cut drink bottle jammed in the rad water neck when refilling coolant, the extra head helps remove any air locks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
