Hi all,
I've noticed a few threads dealing with cooling lately and, hating to
feel left out, feel I should start yet another.
Having owned my 74.5 TR6 a little over two months, I finally got around
to exchanging the slurry of unknown content in my rad with something I
know the contents of. All other vital fluids have been replaced.
To get to the point quickly, before replacing the rad coolant, the car
used to run just under the half mark on the temp guage. Now after
draining, running water through the rad for 5 minutes (not a flushing,
just running water from a garden hose) and refilling with clean coolant,
the car runs at about the 5/8 temp scale, hotter than before. If
sitting at an extended red light, it can even approach the 3/4 mark!
Any guesses as to what I may have done wrong or what I can do to fix
this?
