ok try this!
you need to have flow at the heater valve. do not block off the opening with
a block off plate . instead open the heater valve or fabricate a hose nipple
on a plate and install it to facilitate circulation in the rear end of the
head.
next, grab yer fan blade! try to rotate it! if the belt slips one tiny bit
you have got too loose of a belt. spridgets with a series engines seem very
sensitive to belt slippage at speed assisted by the drag of the coolant
agasinst the water pump impeller. you will not hear a squeeling belt!!! but
you will build heat at higher rpm and be unable to disipate it due to thw
cooling system's inability to circulate at higher rpm's. many racer's
weekends have been threatened by "running hot" only to find out they fan belt
was slipping at speed. oh heck! give it a try! after all ehe e=mc2 cooling
system discussion here why not try some simple stuff too!
on the bizarre side of reality i have had a sudden death in the family and
