Well, I put a thermostat,as well as a severe duty fan clutch, and still the car runs hotter than it should. You know how embarrasing it is to be cruising in a parade, and having the car start to get hot?? One thing I remember is when I was building the engine, the timing cover was kind of corroded. I was reading that the tubes that go through the cover also have to be in VERY good shape, which mine are not. I guess ill try getting a new cover, and see what happens. BTW, i have the heater fittings on the head plugged, could that restrict water flow?? Any help would be appreciated.
