Hello all,
This is applicable to possible overheating in TR6's, but is about a
Midget. I replaced the 1275 in my '72 Midget with a Datsun 210 engine and
5 speed. It runs too warm and I have replaced all the cheap easy stuff,
from here on, there will be more money and labor required on my part.
What I know:
It boils over.
Timing is not retarded.
The radiator seems to flow well after flushing, watching it through the
fill hole. Though 25% of the fins are falling off the tubes.
New Waterpump, New Super Stant 160 Degree Thermostat ( was 180 ), and 7
pound Radiator cap (was 10 pound ). The changes made no change.
10 inch electric fan PUSHING from in front of the radiator ( No room
behind with 210 waterpump ).
Fixes I am currently contemplating:
Modify the shroud and move the radiator forward to reposition the fan to be
a PULLER
Buy a 1500 ( Larger ) Radiator. ( ouch $$$ )
Anyone have an idea?
