Hello,
I know this have been discussed several times, so forgive me if I am repeating things....
I have what seems to be an overheating problem. I've totally restored my Pickup, including rebuilding a 1275 A+ engine and using twin SUs. It has the original cam, head, etc. I have changed the water pump, thermostat, and all water pipes. But I am using the original pickup fan and radiator.
I had the head drilled and taped for the temperature transmitter, and used a new transmitter from MiniSpares... I installed a Smiths water gauge (the C N H type).
The car is not roadworthy yet - but I've running it up a few time, and when it runs on idle for 10mins or so the temperature gauge creeps up slowly towards the H - I then turn it off because I don't want it overheating.
I've read about how this could be a blocked radiator, or stuck thermostat, or broken water pump, etc. but its none of these because they are all new or reconditioned.
The engine seems to be timed and the mixture seems to be OK. It runs really nice on idle
Any ideas please?
Thank you.
