Re: overheating stroker/radiators!

[mark krawczuk]

try and get one of those mechanical type temp gauge, then  slide it in the top hose, then tighten the hose clamp up, (  might have to use a little silicon to help seal.) and get a temp  reading, then  slide it in the bottom  and see what temp ya getting there.        this might help to sort something out?...    mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Simpson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 11:26 AM Subject: Re: overheating stroker/radiators! 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! G'day all   My L20b 2.4L stroker is starting to be a real pain now, she's running too warm or something coz while she doesnt ping except under silly loads (ie up hill, 4th gear 1500rpm), but she wants to run on after turning it off and it doesnt seem like ive got full power out of it --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
