I should also add that in the interest of cooling, the horn holes are blocked off, I have a thermo-switched pusher fan, undersized fan pulley, aftermarket Derale fan, and an aluminum radiator from Dale A. I’m very familiar with the articles and tech tips available to keep a Tiger cool that our great community has made available. – G.

Graham, Is this a new problem or has it always been like that?

Listers –
I’ve been troubleshooting what I thought was a hot-running motor. It’s mid-summer in the mid-Atlantic, and I have a triple-black Tiger, so not the ideal scenario to run cool. The car’s been running between 210 and 220 at 50 mph on level roads. It doesn’t get a lot of miles, so I thought the radiator might need a flush. I changed the thermostat (180deg) at the same time. Same temps. I pulled out an infrared thermometer and with the car idling, the temp gauge was indicating ~ 215 while the infrared thermometer was reading 183 when pointed at the water outlet and F4B manifold. I ordered a new temp sending unit from Rick – any other suggestions?
Thanks as always,
Graham Harlowe
