<div dir="ltr">so the idle stall at 190+ temp could be vapor lock?? I missed the obvious while troubleshooting. My car started running hot 192 and then above while driving on the freeway in 90 heat . or it would spritz water out around the radiator cap. I replaced it twice. might be a crack in one of the welds. I am going to take my oem unit to a radiator shop to have then pressure check it.<div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Portland,OR</div><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> _______ _______</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> (______ \____1959 BN4____/ _______)</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> (_________________________)</span></div><div> BT7 engine and disk brakes</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>1967 MGB <img src="http://www.britishcarspecialists.com/assets/images/MG_emblem.jpg" alt="MG"></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments.

In my humble view 190 isn’t an issue: except as in my case I get a vapor lock so fuel starvation is the issue. But at highway speeds, 180 is the norm. Stop lights get me to 190’s and vapor lock ( in the summer) not so much other times.
<div>After 20 minutes of cooling, I can go again.</div>
<div>Mine is ORM radiator and 4 blade fan; new water pump and fan shroad <br>
