Subject: Re: What temp should I expect
Thanks for the info,
It is a complete rebuild done by Bob "Herbeam" Willis and Smitty's of
San
Diego a few years ago. It has less then 150 miles on it after the
rebuild.
So effectively it is a new engine. I am going to pull out the thermostat
and
try running it without that to see if that might be causing the problem.
If
that is not it then I will check to see if I have any combustion gases
in
the water system. I really hope not. :(
