Thanks again to all those who offered advice concerning my
overheating TR6; it undoubtedly seemed from your advice that the culprit
was a defective thermostat. UNFORTUNATELY, when I went to replace it this
past weekend I learned that the PO had decided that the car didn't need one
in the first place so I'm back to square one (except with a new summer
thermostat in place). To review, the water pump is turning, and not making
any ugly noises; the fan (mechanical) is also turning; the radiator has a
core which is less than a year old; none of the hoses are constricted; no
new restrictions to air flow over the radiator; the car had never had this
problem up until two weeks ago. I must be missing something.....???
