No problem at all,,, I hate to hijack Pritchs thread, but would love help with this,, this engine should not run hot,, an explanation of my post,, from U.S. Radiator the rads manufacturer,, it is a ultra cool 3 row,,(I forget haw many tubes and fins per inch),,the best recollection from them and my rad shop,, the volume that the rad holds alone does not retain the fluid long enough for the cross flow of air to remove heat effectively,, I tested this with installing another gauge at the bottom rad hose, the other is in the stat.housing, after cruising and getting a constant temp, at Idle it heated up, with the thermostat open the temp between the slowly raised and continued , the temp leaving the rad was no cooler than what went in,,their thought was to install a restrictor in place of the stat to retain the water in the rad longer to allow the air flow time to remove the heat, instead of just dropping it down the tubes with no chance for the cross air to remove the heat form the fluid,,btw,, in the mix I do have a decent 5 blade fan,,, a shroud made, and a seal from the rad support to the hood to stop convecting heat,,still no good, never pops or overheats,, but gets way up there 230ish and burps,, now have overflow bottle,,,
