Hi all,
I have to get the temp up in our engine. We leave the line at 180 and pull off at 165. The system is about 3 gallons total with a centrifugal pump and a 180 thermostat. The engine is an un blown 180 inch 4. It is in a street roadster so I cant blank off any of the radiator. I cant slow the pump down cause its direct drive off the front of the cam. I am thinking I have these options, run less than a full radiator, restrict the flow, (and I really don't want to do this to my Ron Davis custom radiator) pinch the cooling fins together at the back side of the radiator.
Suggestions? experience?
