    Wrong themostat ?

    Timing has been checked

    not sure about the plugs, will check them

    belt is fine, radiator hose is good and the thermostat is a 71 degree

    shouldnt the fans be behind the rad ?

    There's no room behing the radiator for any kind of fan

    might be better with one big fan than 2x  8"..  

    Thats my next thing to try


  2. Looking for a bit of advise. I have a 302 Windsor in a Cortina. I bought it as is, looked to be rebuilt recently. I have replaced the water pump, thermostat and housing, running a 3 core radiator and the thing runs at about 200F. The radiator is brand new and not blocked, there are 2 x 8 inch fans pushing air from in front of the rad. Any ideas why it's running so hot? I would have thought something like this would run around 180?
