- Hello Healeyphiles - I had a chance this morning to check the accuracy of my water temp gauge. Having gone through the agony of removing the gauge from the car the last time I checked it, I seriously

- So, refresh my memory (it gets worse with age) does the gauge never (under driving circumstances) go above 212, like it's stuck or it does go above like idling in traffic, but never dumps boiling coo

- No, it never goes above 212, even idling in traffic. It didn't go above 212 while motoring for hours through the California desert at 118 deg. ambient. It doesn't always go to 212, either. If I drive

- Now I almost can unequivocally say that the gauge is faulty or at the very least sticks. I doubt that any Healey owner on this list hasn't shut the engine off at or near the 212 mark and not seen it

- Not just Healeys. Any engine will have a temp spike after shut down as the coolant is no longer circulated, and all that built up heat is transmitted to the non-circulating coolant. This is called he

- You can get around the problems caused by heat soak by installing an electric water pump, electric fan and sensor that continues to circulate the coolant until the required temperature is reached. A

- The coolant temperature depends largely on the thermostat you are using in a healthy cooling system and under normal driving conditions, i.e. low temp. stat a low reading, high temp. stat high readin

- hi steve, consider having your radiator recored with a modern core. my recored radiator cured the overheating problems i had after adding a/c to my BN6 several years ago. cheers, jerry -- jerry wall

- The temperature gauge will never go beyond 212:F as that is the temperature of boiling water, however long you will heat it, it will stay at 212:F at standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. It c

- Since my water temp gauge tested to be 100% accurate, and the various thermostats (unsleeved, sleeved, and no thermostat at all) had no effect on preventing the gauge from going to 212 on a hot day,

- Problem solved I would say. From now on the temp should not go far beyond the temp the thermostat opens unless a very cool thermostat is fitted. Cheers, Kees Oudesluijs NL [demime 1.01d removed an at
