Is the radiator 100% clean and allowing full flow?@ mr. brown
this motor overheats in idle running - on my lift - when sidepanels are mounted
and does not when its is naked
so i hope adding a 2nd fan will solve the problem
so i´ll go that way
if the 2nd fan + sidepanels on will not be sufficiant i´ll gut then the thermostat
I'll keep you up to date
give me some days - tomorrow i get a 4-day vistit of my dearly beloved brother & his girlfriend
and i won´t join my workshop ;-)
PS:
the upper limit is definitely 17.4 psi - no + possible
and please remember - temp. probs NOW are at idle
Is the Water pump in good condition working to full efficiency for maximum flow?
Is the thermostat opening fully?
Are you using good quality coolant such as “Engine Ice”?
These elements of the cooling system must be working up to full efficiency before adding more airflow.
But a second fan and a gutted thermostat is definitely a good idea to try.
