Re: overheating stroker/radiators!

[Chris Simpson]

yer i got a thermostat in there, 165 degrees farinheight, so thats about 63 degrees Celcius. and yer i'd assume that mine is sitting about there aswell.  THe guages in the car are useless when its warm, taking the cap off doesnt have too much pressure and the water is nice and warm to the finger but certainly not boiling, so i don think thats where my problem is   Ive just got a std 1600 rad, that i had stripped and cleaned and checked just earlier this week.  The radiator is doing its job well.   Im going to hook up a guage with numbers on it so that i can see exactly whats going on with the temp, rather than the Cold------------Hot std style   Thanks   Chris S ----- Original Message ----- From: mark krawczuk To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 9:47 AM Subject: Re: overheating stroker/radiators! hi, what radiator have  u got, and are u running a  thermostat  or not?   my stroker sits on about 75 celsius.      mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Simpson To: ozdat Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 12:36 AM Subject: overheating stroker/radiators!
