Yes I agree Lawrie
He had a new radiater ?? so must now be blocked? [
qUOTE=Lawrie;1487856]Ted ,the 33 has no shroud and will stay cool towing in 42deg C, BUT with the fan off the generator, it ran 10 C hotter at hiway speeds,put it back on and it dropped the 10 C.
Clean radiator,clean block,good pumps ,timing close enough,no head gasket leaks,no cracked heads, thats what I have found.and we do a lot of miles towing in Hot weather for long distances.
