I have a 66 Mk IA tiger with a 289. If I keep moving and the
temp. outside is below 80 degrees F, the engine runs about 170 -180,
which I guess is OK. But If it gets above 80 F out, and I hit stop &
go traffic, I'm screwed. Within about 10-15 minutes it'll be up to
200+F. So, I'm considering ways to fix this:
1. Pull radiator and give to a good shop to have it cleaned.
Should I get it re-cored? If I do get it re-cored, should I increase
the number of cores? Will a triple core fit?
2. Flush the engine jackets.
3. Intall the 6 blade maverick fan. Anybody have one
available?
4. Install an auxilary fan in front of the radiator. What is
the best aux. fan to use? Does someone make a bracket/entire fan &
bracket kit that will bolt on?
5 ????
If anyone out there has any ideas about how best to proceed,
I'd love to hear them!
TIA,
Windsor
