Default Re: Ok so a brand new radiator and it still runs hot

Do you know if the fins (blades) on your water pump impeller are original or have they been ground down? I had great flow into the top tank, TOO MUCH IN FACT. Slowing the flow down was necessary for the fluid to get into the cores at the same rate at the fluid was entering the top of the tank. Too much flow ends up blowing out the overflow or overheating (both)

I was told to remove my impeller and grind the blades down as mentioned above and it eliminated my Hot Running immediately. No problem since doing that a couple of weeks ago. Even running in hot weather.

Just my thoughts............

NOW I FEEL CONFIDENT TO DRIVE THIS LITTLE CAR ANYWHERE, ANYTIME...YEEHAW.
