<p>7 Psi should be more than enough on these old engines. Water pump
seal may fail (as mentioned), so may the hoses and the original
style radiator if you operate under a higher pressure. Modern cars
can take much higher pressures of 20Psi or more. If your cooling
system is up to scratch there should not be a problem. i.e. clean
system, radiator with enough capacity, thermostatically controlled
electric fan to keep things under control in dense traffic and hot
weather. The electric fan may not be original but when these cars
were new traffic conditions were not as demanding as in these
days. It just keeps you out of trouble at very little costs and a
bit of ingenuity (breakers yard).<br>

<div>If you are using the alloy radiator you have a short neck
cap. Depending on the press’s app you are using you can not use
a bellows type thermostat. Because the bellows will collapse if
you use anything over 7 lbs. Then the thermostat will close and
the engine will overheat. <br>

<div>I would like to go back to Steve Byers’ comment. I am not
so much concerned about my car overheating. When the engine
was rebuilt it was thoroughly 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.

<div>My problem was that my engine ran cool and would take
quite a while to “warm up.” I think I was using a 165
degree (or thereabouts) non-sleeved thermostat. Robert
Shaw as I recall. So I wanted to get my engine up to
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 much happier and gets
to running temp more quickly.</div>
<div><br>

<div>At least for my engine, a 160-165 degree thermostat
keeps things cool too long. In a perfect world I would
prefer David Nock’s bellows thermostat but with a 185-190
degree opening. Since that doesn’t seem to be available I
think I will stick with the AC unit and keep my eye on the
temp. Gauge.</div>

<div>Well I have watched this discussion on
sleeved thermostats for the last week but now I
just have to say. When the sleeved thermostats
went NLA, about 45 years ago, we resorted to
installing just plain old Stant 175 degree stats
and guess what ... not one complaint or comment
on running hotter or overheating and absolutely
no sign of any symptoms of overheating on my own
BJ8 even in the hottest of ambient temperatures.
It just didn't happen!!! Just sayin'. M
