Hi Duncan,

=20

To answer your questions:

1-      I measure about the same what is measured at the head outlet. =
The gauge is mechanical and I=E2=80=99ve put the probe in boiling water =
and had read 210F. I think this is okay with being 200 meters above see =
level.

2-      The radiator core is new and came in at year 2014. I=E2=80=99ve =
also measured over the whole core temperatures and they are very even. =
It is also clean from outside.

3-      I do always my best to remove air.

4-      With the fan blowing the temperature is creeping up more and =
more. Fan blows in the right direction

=20

The impeller of the waterpump has a metal plate so it should be =
independent of any distance to the housing.

=20

The car had these temperatures already when I drove it at Road America. =
So this is not a new thing on the car, I just want to cure it.

Chris,

212F at idle?  That=E2=80=99s interesting.  I=E2=80=99ll start with the =
usual questions:=20

=20

1) What is the temperature you recorded at the radiator inlet?  (Having =
observed this, I assume you have already confirmed that the gauge is =
reading correctly.)

=20

2) Is the radiator clean, inside and out?

=20

3) Have you confirmed that there is not an air bubble trapped in the =
system?

=20

4) Temperature at idle remains this high even with the cooling fan =
blowing?  If so, is the fan blowing the right direction?

=20

I don=E2=80=99t know whether the following applies to the Rover motor =
you=E2=80=99ve got, but some Morgan owners with Triumph motors have =
found that the impeller of their new water pump is improperly placed on =
its shaft so that there is a large gap between the impeller and the =
housing, causing it to be very inefficient.  One guy measured =
0.075=E2=80=9D end clearance, which he was able to reduce to =
0.015=E2=80=9D by use of a spacer.

Hi guys,

=20

My TR8 is running way too hot about 212F at full speed and at idle the =
temps are getting that high also. I have no idea to get them down.
Radiator core is 68x48cm x 5 cm. I suppose that should be enough. I've =
experiment with different restrictor plates with no change. Changing =
pump speed didn't help either. The difference between radiator in and =
outlet is 10=C2=B0C (50F). Not enough I would say. Maybe making the pump =
more slower? It was running on a ratio of 0.8 slower than crank, =
currently 1:1 speed. Any ideas? 10 Liters are circulating.

=20

Cheers

Chris
