I think your temperature gauge is reading a bit high, check your engine tin seals and the grommets that go through the engine tin, get that all sealed the way it should be and and check your timing if your temps are still the same on the gauge chime in here again and the engine guru's will have better advice than me.

Ian Stott Moncton Canada keep in mind that it is the oil temperature.. and as soon as i made a stop, it goes down less than half. the engine runs great the whole time... the flaps were removed. |

DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! I think we may have found one reason why your temps might read high. The flaps are supposed to be present to control the air flow through the cooling tin. If you remove the one on the right side of the motor, you remove the duct that forces air down through the cooler. This is a VERY VERY BAD IDEA. Find some cooling flaps and install them. If you can, hook them up correctly to a thermostat! If you can't do that, at least fix them in the "maximum cooling" position. --DD |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ok I know that there is a lot of thread about this, can you tel me a simple way have this installed without the thermostat? by right side you mean passenger side by the oil cooler? should that side (passenger side) stay closed part open, or fully open to cool off the engine? |
