Thanks all for the help. My mistake so far...
I reported the fan as stock 4 blade. Apparently I don't count as well as I once
did It is 5 blade.
I'll start this weekend by making certain that what I do have in place is
working properly by flushing the radiator and perhaps replacing the thermostat.
It's been a long long time since I did any of my own car work and I've never
done it on a Tiger.
I don't know what laser thermometers cost but I'll try to find or buy one.
First question, are Tigers metric ?
One suggestion I got was "flush and back flush" I don't understand back flush ?
I do understand running water through from the radiator end with the heater on.
The shop manual suggested one of "several" brands of radiator cleaners. Any
suggestions on a modern brand ?
I also see no indication of how full the overflow tank should be. Where do I
fill it
to ?
I've been told water is a better coolant than anitfreeze and since its only
been below 32 degrees here once in 20 years I'll probably go 90/10 mixture. The
car came from Oklahoma and may be running much more antifreeze.
If I still have doubts after this I'll start looking at mods in that TEAE
article.
Steve
