Thread: Overheating Mystery

Where on the engine do you have the sensor mounted? Have you checked the timing throughout the rpm range? Are the hoses new as well, or reused? Are you sure your gauge is working properly?

I have checked the temp comparison to the gauge using my temp gun and it's within 5 degrees. Sensor is mounted on the intake.

I do need to add a Spring to the lower hose but have rigged it by adding a hose clamp around the bend of the hose and can see there is no pinching when hot. Maybe I should just replace the lower hose with one more rigid. The pressure does get pretty intense as you would predict.

I'm going to add a spacer to the fan to get it within 1 inch of the radiator. Replace the thermostat. Try again and pray.
