My Alpine seems to be running hot. Recored radiator, new hoses, new thermostat. No leaks, seems full. It has an overflow tank. New temp gauge sender. Gauge slowly climbs to 195 and I shut it off.
It has the vizard combustion chamber, a downdraft weber. A cam from Delta. I went up on the idles and mains, and the plugs look a bit fat if anything. The head was tanked when I had it done, only 500 miles ago or so.
I installed a 10 inch blower fan this week. Set it to come on at 175. It works, blows the correct direction. Still runs hot, at least indicated.
Bad gauge ? Blocked passages ? Thoughts ?
