Re: Removing perch bolt for repair
That's exactly what it was trying to do Coop! I jacked the car up on the frame until the wheels were off the ground. (Thanks pistonbroke & 19Fordy) Then I jacked up the axle a little. There's a...

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed
Let me say that I appreciate everyone's input on all the questions I ask here. It's helped me trough everything I don't know about the cars. There's a learning curve that not all of us have gotten to...

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed
Lets get something straight so everyone can understand.
First off, the reason I had to go through all of this was to satisfy you because you wouldn't own up to the fact that the radiator is too...

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed
Hi Lee thanks for your time. Referring to the older post, that was a stock radiator that I had hot tanked at least two times. After pulling it out one day I noticed a lot of built up crud coming out...

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed
This is what Lee suggested. I did everything but the two fans, but still have high temps. I will put the ebay radiator back in the coming weeks to see what I get. It'll be more difficult now because...

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed
Believe me this has not been fun at all. I can think of better things to do with my time than chase this problem. I've also spent well over $3000 between the radiator, the repair to the radiator, the...

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed
I installed a 2 quart overflow tank which works well. I had a smaller tank and it kept puking water coolant and it was always empty when the motor cooler. I thought maybe air was getting into the...

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed
That's what I'm hoping for. You're right, I tried everything EXCEPT mounting a second fan which is what Brassworks recommended. I told Lee that wasn't an option for me. I don't like running one fan,...
