Yeah, it's only a waterpump gasket you gotta replace if it's not that & it beats doing a head gasket later on if it is!!

I had thought about that but not acted on it I thought maybe the pump could even be cavitating. I guess that's the next item to check. Thanks for the idea. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Geordie Sent: Sunday, 19 September 2004 5:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: running hot. real hot. Importance: High Stupid question dude, but are you sure your water pump is working? I've had a water pump shear the drive-shaft and even tho the pulley was turning the blades inside it weren't. Might be worth cracking the gasket open to suss it out!!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Warren Phillip-Clarke Sent: Sunday, 19 September 2004 7:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: running hot. real hot. I got a 4 core job made up with 1600 top and bottom tanks and it doesn't feel really hot from the outside, the radiator was put in two events ago but I had the temp trouble before then. I haven't flushed the cooling system for a while and was wondering if the blockage could be from that. I was thinking of trying a brass plate instead of a thermostat and drilling a hole in the middle to have a constant flow. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of mark krawczuk Sent: Sunday, 19 September 2004 1:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: running hot. real hot. hi, first off , what type/size radiator are u running ? is the radiator definately clean? have u felt the radiator with your hand, to see if it is getting excessicely hot? have u tried it without a thermostat, to see if anything different happens ? mark k --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you still wasting your time with spam?...

Hi guys any help greatly accepted. I have a mild L18 in my rally car running twin 40mm Webbers and a crow cam. I have had the car dyno tuned, change thermostats twice, taken the engine fan off and replaced it with an electric fan. Change temp gauges twice. The temp gauges are electronic but all read well into the red when going hard through stages etc or even if left idling long enough too. I am wondering if I need to put the heater box back in to actually put more water in the system to run a normal temp range. Any idea's. I am running a tectaloy/water coolant mix.
