I am experiencing an issue that I once again am calling upon the list for a
solution.  Heres the situation.  I have modified my TR6 with the following
recently:



9.5:1 or so head

16 Perma-cool fan used as a pusher  original mechanical fan removed.

Copper head gasket



If I start up the car and let it idle in the driveway with the hood up then
the temperature gauge remains exactly in the middle and never moves.
However if I close the hood and let the car remain idling then the temp
gauge climbs upwards towards the > range.



The outside temperature currently is 75F so its not exactly broiling hot.



I did check the timing and it is set at 8-10 BTDC.



Ideas?



Thanks,
