Hi Justin,

=20

water wetter is only a cure for symptoms but not removing the cause.

I would like to find the cause before trying things.

I hate to ask Chris, but I've seen this before: are you sure your gauges =
are accurate? I saw this problem on a well known car a while back.

Electrical or mechanical?

Could be worth checking.

Good luck.

Hi guys,

=20

My TR8 is running way too hot about 212F at full speed and at idle the =
temps are getting that high also. I have no idea to get them down.
Radiator core is 68x48cm x 5 cm. I suppose that should be enough. I've =
experiment with different restrictor plates with no change. Changing =
pump speed didn't help either. The difference between radiator in and =
outlet is 10=C2=B0C (50F). Not enough I would say. Maybe making the pump =
more slower? It was running on a ratio of 0.8 slower than crank, =
currently 1:1 speed. Any ideas? 10 Liters are circulating.

Cheers

Chris
