Yes, this is looking better. I did a 15 mile drive last night before I put it to bed and on the way to work this morning the results were about the same: the temp likes to rest at about 80C ( thermostat rating, radiator doing its job) with occasional cycles up to 90 for about two to three minutes, (hermo closed) then back down again as the thermostat opens and the radiator kicks in again.
Would a 180* thermostat be a better choice?
I'm satisfied that this is very good forward progress.
Now that this is solved it's time to get it to the tuner for the final go - over (recall all the fuel problems that happened before this but I wanted to get all the other things fixed before I took it to him.) |
