    What would you use as a restriction in the top hose? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes I have heard the same thing, I have been looking for a bigger pulley to suit the Gilmer belt, but no luck, I’m going to put the standard pulleys back on and test it out, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hey all, does anyone know if the serpentine pulley system are the same diameter as the standard pulleys? I know the Gilmer pulleys are a lot smaller, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Quick question, the manifold I have was match ported to a different set of heads, it wasnt done to the new set, can that be restricting air flow and cause it to rise in temp? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So I just rung Aussie dessert coolers to ask if the radiator was a single flow or double or triple, he said it’s only a single flow just with a bigger tank, if I was to try say a pwr triple flow radiator, what do you guys think? I would like all your opinions before I do anything more, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have the same Aussie dessert coolers radiator in it, I had it cut open and cleaned out so it’s not blocked, I went for a drive yesterday and it stayed under 90 degrees for 20min, but started going up so I went home, I think I will try getting the mufflers checked out and then a good tune, but if that doesn’t fix it I think I will just sell it, a $6000 motor upgrade has become closer to $10k so I need to draw a line, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    After I drive it i can put my hand on one side of the radiator and its getting close to being warm, where the other side is to hot to touch,red devil radiators said that is a thermostat problem, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think I got a cheap Chinese one because I don’t think the thermostat I got is working properly, I have ordered one from the company you put here tho, the car ran ok today, seems to be ok around town driving, I haven’t gone to far tho, it doesn’t like hwy driving tho it just keeps getting hotter and hotter, hopefully that new thermostat comes soon, I ordered the bypass plate with it, do you think I should swap it at the same time?

    Thanks mate, yes it has been trouble but I think with the new water pump and thermostat and the correct gasket I might have it going ok now, I will test it more tomorrow and let you know how it goes, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The engine builder I went to on the Gold Coast, I got the right gasket and have put it on now, I’m wondering if this has been the problem all along, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So one thing we found when putting the motor back together was the water pump gasket wasn’t right, this is the gasket that came in the kit with all other gaskets Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I didn’t think it would be a blocked muffler, the engine builder said it might be the problem that’s all, the thermostat I got has the writing on the side of it I’m pretty sure, I will check it tomorrow morning, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
