Might wanna put some :Budweiser in the Trunk WATER ! :flip3:

[wesleycogdell]

make sure you have a good fan shroud

[H&HRACING17]

thanks we have been hearing alot about the fan shroud


:smokem :snacktime

[Coop91]

What do you have slowing the water down???...may need to play with that some and also put a shroud on it...Dont put the blades completely inside it or it will still run hot...Halfway will pull plenty of air off the radiator...

Make sure you are keeping your radiator cleaned. Do you have any screen or wire in front of it to keep mud from getting on it but not too much to restrict the air flow. Get the fan as close to the radiator as possible. You may need to space the fan towards the radiator some. And like Coop said keep about half the fan showing from the back edge of the shroud. Is your radiator sitting too low? You may need to raise it up if possible. Try some 40 below or water wetter. Is your water pump working like it should? Endless possibilities.

Improper timing may also cause a heating problem. Also improper jetting of the carb. (too Lean) can cause things to heat up as well. Hope this is some help to ya.

[Hollowell]

check and see what color are the inside of the headers. if they have a white tint then you are running your carb to lean and if it is dark black did you are running to big of a jet. that will help with horsepower too. don't put just water, put like purple ice or some additive that is made for cooling engines other than antifreezel. mix what ever you have in there with water that could help and check to make sure your fan is not on backwards cause i know someone that had overheating probs and they did everything in the world you could think of to cool the engine down and come to find out the fan was on backwards. :flip3: :icon_thed

BTW dont forget to put antifreeze in the block this winter , many a race engine has been destroyed by oversight of antifreeze in the colder months. It is easy to overlook.

how well we know...thats what happened to our 4 banger from last year

A car can overheat if it is tight and the engine has to work harder.(work = heat) If this is the case, it usually cools rapidly once you ease out of the gas and coast a while. There ain't but about twenty-eleven different causes of overheating.

[racinmech53]

we found an air pocket in our engine that will couse it to majorly over heat.....

[dirtracer76]

try downy fabric softner friend of mine runs it in his yota at southern national he said is cools his by 15 percent

You really need to provide more detail to a problem in order to get the correct solution. "I'm over heating ain't enough" You have to provide details. are you running under drive setup, electric fan stock fan clutch fan stat outlet restrictor stock pump what type rad? you gert my drift?
