Getting ready to get quite a bit done this afternoon
Install Mech guage, bench test and install higher flow thermostat, will be certain i’m burping thoroughly (just did uphill before this expensive funnel contraption), slap on the tighter curve springs while checking the timing chain then ensure I’m at correct initial timing, check the water pump weep hole, check the lower rad hose under load when hot. If it’s still getting hot I’ll swap to the original shroud and fan.
