still getting temp creep, now what?

[EMSjunkie]

no puking while driving, never has.
guess I'm just being anal

did some re-jetting, 73's in the primaries now.
seemed to help   maybe we are onto something

do I need to increase the secondaries also :?:
I think they are 76's :?


Thanks for all the help

Rule of thumb..

1. If it heats up in traffic, it's commonly caused by lack of air flow (fan)
2. If it heats up at highway speeds, it's commonly water flow restiction and/or radiator to small.

Even though its a new radiator, crud comes out of a fresh engine. That will block the cores. You need to back flush with pressurised water (aided by air pressure )

Thanks Pep, I appreciate it

Try a 15 psi cap. You don't want it to puke water when you shut it off either if you can help it.

Its only puked water once, about a year ago, coming back from Dallas TX
ambient temp was about 100*, and I had been driving it for about 1 1/2 hrs at 70 mph.

Thanks for the info

p.s. I just went and checked the Speedway website, it is a 15# cap
