[TR] Overheating issue

[Andrew Uprichard]

Wow – never heard of this before.  Bu then I primarily restore small-mouths.  But I do have a nice used wide-mouth grille if anyone wants to solve their overheating issues,… J

Overheating. Lots of culprits to pursue. Likely you've cosidered most already, but in cases. 

 

Old radiator with less than optimal connection between the core and fins. Worn out water pump (poor flow). Stuck thermostat. Clogged water passages in engine ( my tr2 had horrible scale blockage). Bad radiator cap. My favorite, electric fan blowing the wrng way (surprised at how often i see this).  Incorrect timing.  im sure ive missed some....

 

Keep us posted.

Do you have an aftermarket grille? If yes, it may be your culprit.
