Ditto what Ed said!

Like Bill said. Check all the things. Make sure there is no air in the system (a problem in my car with the engine so far away from the grill). Make sure you have a good fan shroud, good thermostat, good water pump, fan belt, fan (turned the right way), all that good stuff.

If all that checks out, and she still overheats, then think about cutting…[Read more]

My Duchess thinks she’s a baby Rolls Royce. Please don’t tell her the truth!

Hey bebop… I see you on the member list.

One other measurement in addition to those Ed outlines, albeit one that is hard to check prior to assembly.

I suspect bringing the front track in three inches on each side would probably bring the tires into contact with the front fenders.

Hey bebop…

A little off topic, but I took a look and I see you are on the member list. All should be ok.

May sound silly, but I’ve seen the electric fan installed incorrectly and instead of sucking air through the radiator it is trying to push the air forward, completely defeating its purpose. With the 4 core and a working thermostat, venting should be unnecessary.

Hey All

The Penny Marie knows she’s a bastard “Bastette” and lives up to her name!…She says it feeds her Rebel side and gives her the freedom to be WICKED!

Hey Elmo,

My mid 80’s British Coach Works has the vents routed out on the sides.  With the exception of one time (hot Summer Day and a slow radiator leak I forgot to check) where I ran hot until I topped things off, my engine seems to cool just fine.

My gut says venting (where the vents are supposed to be) may take care of your problem.

Good point. I like it.

Yeah man!

Glad to see you back, Crash!

We’ll miss you both for sure.

I regret that I will miss my first Carlisle event in the last 6 years.  Have fun guys.

Will not make Carlisle this year, Grand-daughter is in a science program with her final presentation that weekend.

Bill, I’m hoping you’ll be bringing the car this year?
