Re: over heating issues during break in

Yes, got her running this last weekend. Ran it for another 10 min and she got to around 210, but nothing serious. I put a box fan on the grill with a makeshift cardboard fan shroud. She broke in nicely. I've got maybe 50 miles on it so far and no issues. Thanks for asking.

Re: over heating issues during break in

those spring style thermostats will open late and during normal operation close unexpectley.

a Thomas shaw style fixed my overheating problem. 20 bucks or so.

sorry for your hustrasions with your motor.

Re: over heating issues during break in

Like several guys have mentioned. A new engine will run quit a bit hotter during break in. By reading your post it looks to be doing a lot better. Hope it stays in the cooler range for you.
