<div>MD,</div>
<div>Everything seems to be under control - get that fan working!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Everybody" says oil/water should run about 210 (non of my stuff runs that
hot) to "boil" off condensation - I believe long drives at 180 should be
fine. Something to think about if you worry about that stuff.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Have fun at crapple - those new Ipad2 gizmos make great gifts for the race
team. . . . . . </div>
<div> </div>
<div>cheers,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>David in Durango</div>

<div><span>Road Test after adding 180 thermostat...here's
results...</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>It got to a blistering 74F at noon today :-]></span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>So Idecided to get in heavy midday traffic and see if I could warm
it up.</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>1. It did not warm up any faster (replacing the 160F
with 180F)</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>2. It slowly made it to 180F rather then 160 so that is a
BIG plus</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>3.<span style="WHITE-SPACE:pre;" class="yiv675137867Apple-tab-span">
</span></span><span>02 temp was slow to 180F but stayed at 180-190 long as I
was moving...was thinking maybe air in system...</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>4.<span style="WHITE-SPACE:pre;" class="yiv675137867Apple-tab-span"> </span>I sat
in traffic going no where and watched water temp slowly go to 200 then<u>
stopped</u> at 200F......I flipped the cooling fan switch on to be
safe....cars started moving again and so did I.....temp stayed at 200 but soon
as I got home (total trip 25 minutes) and parked the water temp then went to
210-220 but no higher....I got out to check the COOLING or cooking fan and it
wasn't moving.....shut engine down. . .Restart engine, check again and cooling
fan NOT going on which it should have.</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>5.<span style="WHITE-SPACE:pre;" class="yiv675137867Apple-tab-span">
</span>Probable cause- I hit some debris coming back from Reno in June
which wedged itself between back of radiator and cooling fan which I stopped
to dig out...and probably disconnected cooling fan wire when that
happened.....</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>In summary while the coolant did not go to 170 or 180F any faster
it did get there eventually which it would NOT do before with the 160
thermostat on the street driving....so happy about that.</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>Otherwise guys I am packing and getting ready to leave for Bay Area
to start new project.....will be in touch in next week. Thanks again to Art
for his invaluable hands on wrenching help and to all those who sent
emails....</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>In any case I should be READY to run SS. I have NEVER seen
water temps above 180F at WOT or at least I haven't in 3 years since
Dick added the Ron Davis cup radiator. </span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>See ya</span></div>
