Default Re: Skips Pumps

Thanks for all the replies . I do have a good shroud on it and have made sure all the original tin is on it to direct the air through the radiator. It had AC on it and I took the condenser off because I figured that was blocking the Radiator. That helped quite a bit. I had the electric fan off and that didn't seem to make a whole lot of difference but it does cool down faster at idle with it on. I should say that in 80 degree weather it doesn't heat up but in the 90's going up a fairly steep mile long hill it gets up to 220-230. I agree about the pumps. Mine are new and there is no reason they shouldn't be good enough. I'll work on the timing and see if that helps, Though I think its pretty close. Hopefully if I put a few more easy miles on it that might loosen her up some. If not i'll pull the heads and see if I find anything in the cooling jackets. As I have said this is my 4th 8BA and I have never had these types of Cooling problems. Guess its my turn LOL. Thanks Again
