Okay guys, removing the shroud will back me up one notch to where I was last weekend. Car will run great and cool down the road, but will not cool well at slow speeds or idle. Can I safely advance the timing beyond 20*???
So....
Once I remove this shroud my car runs great at 180* down the road, no knocking/pinging/dieseling at shut-down. Car heats up to 110C if left sitting still long enough.
I am headed to do the coolant eval. |
