Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed

We’ll said B&S that’s exactly the direction I’d like to see this go. Thank you for all of your input along the way, it’s much appreciated

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed

As usual, great advice! Thank you 19Fordy. I agree 100% and installing the ebay radiator is the next step for sure.
Thanks again,
Joe

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed

That's exactly why I emailed him this morning 19Fordy. I feel I need to let everyone here know what's going on with this situation.

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

The leaks finally stopped on their own

I believe it was in the original radiator the whole time.
Maybe the reason it ran so hot.

What do you suggest for a bigger radiator??

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

Ron, the driving is always fun and never a burden. I just had to focus on my temp but that didn't stop me from driving!

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

I'm sure there's a formula for that flow ratio, but I don't know what it is. I can put water into the filler neck, but I really can tell if individual tubes are clogged.

Anyone have a way to test...

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed

B & S That's 100% correct. The only time I see an increase in temp is on the highway. When I get off the highway, the temp drops back down.
Thanks

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,...

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed

Test ride today and there's no difference. 73* outside today and the gauge read 205* at its highest.
Forgot to mention I went back to propylene glycol at a 50/50 ratio

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed

So the saga continues...I replaced the Speedway water pumps last night with a pair modified by Skip Haney. The impellers are definitely different. There was nothing wrong with the impellers on the...
