I am experiencing an issue that I once again am calling upon the list for a
solution. Heres the situation. I have modified my TR6 with the following
recently:
9.5:1 or so head
16 Perma-cool fan used as a pusher original mechanical fan removed.
Copper head gasket
If I start up the car and let it idle in the driveway with the hood up then
the temperature gauge remains exactly in the middle and never moves.
However if I close the hood and let the car remain idling then the temp
gauge climbs upwards towards the > range.
The outside temperature currently is 75F so its not exactly broiling hot.
I did check the timing and it is set at 8-10 BTDC.
Ideas?
Thanks,
