Reply To: Engine overheating

[Paul DomoneyParticipant]

Hi Peter. Very little coolant came out which clearly points to that as being the prime cause of overheating. Have not re-checked the timing yet and it is possible that might contribute but the engine does run beautifully. Yes coolant circulating nicely at top of radiator which has been re-cored and water pump has also been checked. No thermostat fitted.

So I think that I am going to take off the head as a first step but I take the point that in the end I may have to strip the engine.

Oh well, what else can one do with spare time provided by Covid 19?

I expect that you all realized that mine is a Slough built Lt 15. What you may not know is that I live in Zimbabwe!

Many thanks

Paul
