[Healeys] overheat update

[i erbs]

fan belt is correct tightness
water pump is not leaking
thermostat opens a 168 degrees
water circulates a pretty good speed
no bubble sin water
water level was lowered to use engine gas test kit, chemical remained blue
tested it twice
refilled antifreeze to inch below filler neck
Fluid had no trace of rust after being run for 1500 miles since being
replaced
Idles fine at 190 degrees
Did not get a chance to take it for a drive
borrowed tool to check radiator pressure and cap pressure, but it does not
fit the car.
 Will spark plugs some evening this coming week
Hate to flush engine and waste new antifreeze with it looking clean, but
might do it to rule one more thing out
 Mechanic says timing and carb adjustments were spec when I picked up the
car in June.
