451 overheating, even when moving
Got the mechanical fan on, and put the rad back, not a lot of wiggle room, hopefully that rad doesn't expand half an inch ;).
And then I ran it for 15 or 17 mins, not as hot a day today, but still mid 25, or 30 with humidex (75 to 85f?)
Temp gauge did not go past 185
Hose at top where it goes in 182-4
Hose at bottom 154-6
Thermostat housing 195-7
#1 header at the manifold 880
No puking
Previously I had:
The gauge was likely close to 200, just a recollection as I didn't note that
Hose at top 205
Lower hose next to the rad 195
Thermostat housing 212
#1 header nearly 1000
While the measured temps were cooler today, the spread between the upper and lower hoses went up from 10 to 30 degrees. I think some progress has been made with the efan pushing and the mechanical fan pulling.
I'll take it out for a bit tomorrow and see how it behaves after 15 or 20 mins driving.
Next up is to adjust the timing.
