To say it overheats at idle in stop and go isn't quite true. It just runs much warmer than what I feel is reasonable. Bring it up to temp and she'll be in the 200-210 range. Put on the road, and she'll climb to 220. Put her on the freeway and she'll go to 230. Get off the freeway and she'll come back down to 210-200 but not as quickly as one would think, all this in 78-80deg weather. Obviously I can't wait for the 90's. lol
I think I could live with this if I weren't afraid to take her any distance. I sure would love to go down and meet the guys in Atlanta a time or two and there's a guy from Chattanooga who love to take a few road trips together.
I am getting set up to do some pressure testing tommorow, reverify the stat, add an
oil cooler, check the header bolts, etc.
What's really interesting is that it behaves just like it did when I was low on coolant temp reading wise, but at least now I don't have the vapor lock problem.
I WILL SOLVE THIS and when I do, I'll spllatter the answer(s) all over this forum.
Wish me luck. For those in the know, the pool has been fixed and now I shall have the time to go after this pain in the a$$.
