Checking the pump sounds like a good idea can always run an electric one as well.

Nup not running on or playing up in that respect, doesn't appear to be down on power either. Were running NGK BP5ES plugs.

Is the car running on when you switch it off?? Could be diesiling, this normally meens it is running too cold a spark plug, and is also running lean. Engine will always run hot if it is too lean.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.
