Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2011 10:32 AM Subject: Overheating Stumped... So I'm trying to diagnose the issue that's causing my new 4-core radiator to make the car run hotter than with my previous 3-core radiator. Not only does it run hotter at cruising, but it starts getting hot IMMEDIATELY upon stopping at a light to the point of being scary. Basically the only thing I changed id the radiator. Car is 318 Poly with a mild cam, 7 blade fan, fan clutch (confirmed working), no shroud (never had one), now new 180 deg high-flow t-stat, spring in lower hose. The symptom I cant figure out now is...after testing things today and keeping an eye on temps w/ a laser thermometer, I turned it off to let it cool and scratch my head. When the rad, and upper hose had cooled to ~165, the lower rad hose was dead cold. I pulled it off and there is no restriction in the hose or the pump. I looked in the water pump from below and don't see anything up there either. It's not leaking Any thoughts??
