On my 1953 Morgan +4 I installed a recirculation hose block-off =
where
it goes back in the water pump. I did the same thing on my TR3 a 20 =
years
ago based on a tip from Bob Schaller=92s booklet =93More BS About =
Triumphs=94. On
the Morgan I turned down a =BD=93 long brass cylinder and put a 1/8=94 =
hole in the
center of it. Worked great on the TR3. It prevents unnecessary =
recirculation
when using a conventional thermostat instead of the sleeved type. =
Anyway, it
worked on the Morgan (vary similar to the TR engine) until I discovered =
the
fan belt was loose. I tightened the belt and bam! It blew out the gasket
between the two thermostat housings when cold. I lapped the two =
thermostat
housings, installed a new conventional thermostat and bam! It blew off =
the
bypass hose. No matter how much I tightened the hose clamp it still =
leaks. I
put on a new hose and it still dribbles.
Something tells me that the water pump is pumping too hard against =
the
closed thermostat when the car is cold. I could spring for a $115 =
sleeved
thermostat from Moss, but would rather continue using a modern =
conventional
thermostat.
Anyone else have issues like this? Any ideas?
TIA,
