Default Re: Overheating 8ba

What kind of heads are you running? Did you re-torque after a few heat cycles? I put aluminum heads on my 8BA and it got hot a few times during break in because exhaust heat was making it's way into the cooling passages. I retorqued the heads and problem was solved. Also, the motor may get a little hotter than normal in your first 100 miles or so if tolerances are tight.
