[urq] Cooling System Again ...

Well, it seems to me that the MC-2 is warming up too quickly.  I have
flushed the cooling system and replaced the thermostat.  Some had suggested
that the radiator was clogged . the infrared thermometer shows a fairly
consistent temperature profile.  I'm thinking that the fact the radiators
are heating tells me the water pump is working OK.  This situation seems to
have developed suddenly (I have a VDO water temp gauge in the console).  I
have a spare radiator I can install fairly quickly for a test . and I'm
thinking that I'll do that test while I am still running distilled H2O.
Other than a water pump, what problem might cause the engine to warm up so
quickly?

 

Thanks for any advice / BTDT you can provide!
