Hi List!
Ok, if you recalled that I had inserted a head core plug that was
1/64" to large with Red Loctite into my head; that's my engine head, to
be clearer. :-D 19 hr. later, I placed plain water into the radiator
& ran the engine with the cap off, topped up when I saw the water go
down [thermostat opening]. I took it out for a 35 mi. Rainy test ride,
I might as well check out other possible problems, before I go on the
'big' trips ;-) . It Works!
Now I couldn't get the windows to defog in the rain. I opened the
heat up, but could barely feel any warmth. I have a sleeved thermostat,
that I believe is 160^ [summer]. The reason I state this is that I did
not find a temp. stamped on it, & the temp. gauge reads pointing
straight down [which is low to me]. I feel the electric sensor is
reading accurately on my TR4/A. I don't know how one would check this
unit. I'm opened to suggestions, so please reply to me & the list if
you wish to. TIA,
-Cosmo Kramer
