Finally got around to installing a regular 180 deg F (unsleeved) T'stat. Drove the BJ8 60 miles to the British Wheels and Wings event at Oshkosh, WI yesterday. Happy to report that the engine temp ne

Hello List, I have a problem w/ both of my recently restored tri-carb Healeys. One is a BN7 (2500 miles), and the other is a BT7 (1500 miles). Both overheat very quickly when idling in neutral. Both

There should be a sleeve type thermostat fitted to the 6 cylinder cars that makes the coolant flow through the radiator instead of a portion of it bypassing. The originals were all sleeve type and I

I think that 6 & 8 blade fans were offered to the export markets, according to Clausager. I wouldn't think it was too far off standard & would definitely help the slow speed cooling. I thing if the

To add something to this thread. I called Nock's in CA and talked to Michael. The sleeved thermostats they sell are 160 F opening stats. The one in my BJ8 opens begins opening at 155 F. They have bee

I had one of the 160deg "sleeved" thermos. This is a Robertshaw thermostat with the sleeve soldered on. I bought a 180deg Robertshaw, de-soldered the sleeve and soldered it to a 180deg thermo. Unfor

Remember that the once the thermostat is open it is no longer part of the cooling system other than the sleeve that closes off the bypass. The job ot the thermostat is to get the engine up to operati

They appear to be identical, as do the baffles that guide the air into the radiator. This is what is driving me crazy. John

A reminder from past discussions: The Robert Shaw thermostat is NOT the proper sleeved thermostat. The diameter of the sleeve is too small. It will not cover the hole in the head when open. The sleev

The 28% acetic acid is probably somewhere around the strength of some commercial flushes which use oxalic acid. Oxalic is stronger than acetic (ionizes to a greater degree in water). The ionization
