I would like to go back to Steve Byers=E2=80=99 comment. I am not so much co=
ncerned about my car overheating. When the engine was rebuilt it was thoroug=
hly cleaned to get rid of all sludge. I run an aluminum radiator, have built=
and installed air ducting for improved flow. I do not have an electric fan.=
=20
My problem was that my engine ran cool and would take quite a while to =E2=80=
=9Cwarm up.=E2=80=9D I think I was using a 165 degree (or thereabouts) non-s=
leeved thermostat. Robert Shaw as I recall. So I wanted to get my engine up t=
o 185-190 degrees sooner. I went with one of the same AC sleeved thermostats=
82 degrees centigrade from Kees that Steve used. The engine seems to be muc=
h happier and gets to running temp more quickly.
At least for my engine, a 160-165 degree thermostat keeps things cool too lo=
ng. In a perfect world I would prefer David Nock=E2=80=99s bellows thermosta=
t but with a 185-190 degree opening. Since that doesn=E2=80=99t seem to be a=
vailable I think I will stick with the AC unit and keep my eye on the temp. G=
auge.
I am no authority on this. I am simply passing along my experience. Am I und=
erstanding all of this correctly?=20
Thanks,
Lin
