Re: Radiator over flow
I'd say it is just a coincidence. Unless you were driving faster this time with the new plugs than you were before. Radiator overflow really starts to kick in above 35-40 MPH, if you are going to have it. Causes can be traced back to missing baffle in the upper tank, restriction going down the core tubes, or you over filled it and the radiator is seeking it's own level.

DROP A ROOFING NAIL INTO YOUR OVERFLOW TUBE AT THE TOP.

Re: Radiator over flow
Thanks Bill already in there, I cant see connection to new plugs, but number four plug got hotter than the others, enough to change color of plug to blue tint.
Thanks |
