I've been having trouble with my '73 2.0 running hot... while I was under it I realized that one of the heat exchangers doesn't have the heater hose attached, so it just allows air to escape. I temporarily plugged the hole and low and behold it now doesn't run as hot (210 after 30 minutes of 80mph highway) and it cools down quickly when I slow down.
moral of the story... check the stinkin' obvious... |

QUOTE(Paul Heery @ May 5 2004, 07:20 AM) I've got HEs on my car, but no flapper boxes, heater hoses, nuthin. I have not had a problem with running too hot. And, I can't see how the heating path affects the engine cooling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Your oil temps may be OK, but I'll bet your cooking the heads. Plug it! |
