My Tiger used to do this in traffic:
- idle briefly
- overheat
- leave puddles of coolant
That problem seems largely solved, but I have a different problem which I don't
completely understand:
- idle for much longer (though still somewhere south of 20 minutes)
- get rather hot - definitely +230F
- loose all semblance of oil pressure
- cease to run until cool
- doesn't lose any coolant
Can someone explain to me what is happening here? Does it indicate a mechanical
problem or is the oil losing viscosity or something else altogether? FWIW, oil
pressure under normal circumstances is a robust 75 <whatever units are on that
dial>.
Thanks in advance,
rick
