Re: Hot Engine
Congratulations on your purchase. Others will chime in but here are some quick thoughts.
Get yourself an infrared laser thermometer. Don't trust your gauge. Take temperature readings at the front and back of the heads to get a good idea of actual temps. Check the radiator at the top and at the bottom to see how the temperature changes as the water moves from the inlets to the bottom outlets.
If you are truly overheating, the first thing I would work on is the radiator. Find a shop that knows how to work on radiators. They can do a flow test and can rod out the radiator if it is clogged.
Good luck!
