Followed you guys with great interest.          Was thinking of doing a the=
rmal scan  of cylinderhead. I am that determined to get the temp down. For =
those who just joined let me say I was the one who speeded up the waterpump=
 and put in the coldest thermostat etc.
My books say that aluminium expands twice that of iron , lower temp less mo=
vement.
The 200 degrees I measured was not accurate ---when I took cap off expansio=
n tank  the water boiled like crazy.       Never liked that weird waterpump=
 ,  does anyone know where and why that design ???. One good thing about it=
 ----easy to change.   Did the dishsoap test yesterday  ----head is tight -=
--no bubbles.  Anybody have the numbers for the fan relays ?? so I can see =
if both are installed ( This is a no A/C bunny) If the thermostat switch mo=
unted in rad is a flip flop  H - L   the the H relay can be used for manual=
 control.
almost looks like  H is only used for A/C bunny.                 This hothe=
ad is sure fun to drive now compared to when I got it  " for parts only "  =
 magic potions everywhere did the trick on the stiff steering and shifting =
(5 speed manual)    Wish I was a salesman for Dow Corning  ---dry molyspray=
.=2E           Hagar.
Ps:  If fast relay pick up at higher temp than the slow what fires it ???.
