Hey!,
I'm trying to help my buddy solve his obstinate cooling problems. Rodded
the radiator, blocked the horm holes, made a custom fan shroud, even tryed
taking out the thermostat. Still can't go over 55 and overheats at idle since
the therm came out (didn't do that before).
Contemplating an Edelbrock pump, but before spending that money, thought
we should consider the possibility of clogged water passages. Engine is a 289,
bought off a pallet, unknown provenence. He's going to pull the upper hose and
therm housing and try to get a sight into the right head passage to see what
that looks like. If it looks rusted (etc.) up, is there anything out there
like a rad flush except for motors, perhaps corrosive, that we could use to
clean the engine up a bit without pulling it, disassembling it and getting way
serious ??! Thanks
Chris Hill
