327 overheating
I've got a 327 that's been running great for a couple of months now...
The engine temp usually runs around 185(night), and 210(day) when it's about 90 plus degrees outside. It has a 185 Thermostat. The outside temp is 83 today, and after going on a quick 5 mile round trip errand the engine temp hit 235. Any ideas on why it's getting hot all of a sudden? |
Re: 327 overheating
Too many things can cause overheating. The list is fairly long but start with the easiest and cheapest first (not necessarily in order).
-Radiator cap -Collapsing lower radiator hose (weak or internal spring rusted out). -Clogged radiator or defective -Sticking thermostat (test it in an old pot on the stove) -Head gasket or crack in the head -Not enough coolant (install an overflow tank) -Radiator fan clutch bad (if using one) -Install a shroud if there isn't one There may be other causes but this gives you an idea. |
