Hey guys, I am working on trying to finish up my '36 this summer! I have the engine in and running, it was a "Fresh" rebuild from about 20 years ago. It starts right up and runs very smooth, BUT it does run a little hot... I know that sometimes they will run a little hot after first start up while everything breaks in. The temp gauge will rise continuously until I finally shut off the engine. I took temperatures with a digital temp gun to make sure that the gauge isn't off... The highest that I got were readings around 180-190 all over the heads and the hoses as well, there were a couple of hot spots that reached 200-205, this seems hot to me. It has no thermostats in the hoses, the water pumps are the newer sealed bearing type, and I am running a 50/50 mixture of water and anti freeze. I know that this topic has been discussed to death, but I am looking for any help to try and get this truck to run cooler! Any help/ideas are certainly appreciated!!
