Re: 83urq Water Temp too High

[Glenn Lawton <lawtonglenn@gsmai.com>]

Thanks guys for your input, it is really appreciated.

I went out to the barn lastnight and looked at the gauges again, and
the last three marks are (220  |  250), I'm sure it was running well
before the | mark, which would be 230F, not what I said yesterday.

I am running the aux rad, AC still installed, but not working.
The oil temp is always less than 250F (Mobil 1 15-50).
Two of you said no hotter with the water cooled turbo.
The same two said 4k rad without aux.

Perhaps I should just send the radiators (main&aux)
out for rebuild/reflow/angioplasty???

Failing that, maybe a 4k or custom BIG rad???
