I have a 6 engine that has been uprated to 2.2 with E cams,the temp gauge keeps edging the red part of the gauge ,I e been told by the guy who rebuilt the engine that I probably need another oil cooler,can you only have these fitted in the front boot space or are there other places in the engine bay that they can be fitted
Hope this makes sense Thanks Brian |

You should be running a 150C sender (300F) I would be inclined to replace it ,if you get no improvement take the gauge and sender to a auto electrician and have it checked/calibrated.
If the above is done you need then proceed with the following; Check timing isn't over advanced, Make sure the carbs aren't jetted lean, Is the fan belt tight, Is the air deflector on the back of the altenator in the correct position, All spark plug seals and engine tin seals in place, Is the thermostat operating correctly, Has the heater system got the correct heater valves. Do you have the correct valve clearances. One or more of the above things can amount to your overheating,I would start with the timing and carbs first,you look to be running it the 120C+ range which rather hot...not something that is good for your engine. |
