>here is my latest
challenge: the engine water temp just keeps climbing. by recoring the
radiator, checking the cowl in front of the radiator, replacing the
water pump and checking the thermostat full open when hot, checking
timing again (12btdc at idle, 26 at 3000 rpm ), setting mixture full
rich, midrange. At this point i have found out that my cam (mild
exotic) valves should be set at .014, .016 instead of the .010 factory
that i did set them at. I will do a compression test (again) to check
for a blown head gasket, but last i checked it was fine. the pistons
are the high dome from england (factory). can anyone think of anything
else to check ?<
Check the gauges. Are you sure it is overheating or is the gauge just
reading high? If the voltage stabilizer is not properly grounded your
gauges (temp and fuel) will read sginificantly high. Check the temp with
an independent temperature measuring device (candy thermometer) to verify
if the temp really is high.
Good luck
