. My point is that if your engine and radiator are reasonably clean and your engine timing and mixture are somewhere close to standard, TRactor motors do not overheat.(in TR4A's anyway.) My friend's

Not quite ... the TRs have a lot less margin in the cooling system than American cars of the period. True, they don't overheat if everything is just right and the weather isn't too hot, but some of

Ask your local radiator shop if they can do a flow test with the radiator still in the car. Since it works OK at speed, I'd say the problem is not likely to be the radiator ... but a recore that del

See the previous thread about fans for TR4s. Does your car have an engine-driven fan or an electric one? If it's the former I suggest installing an electric fan with a thermoswitch and a manual over

I'll give two more of my cents on this topic. I removed the stock metal fan off my TR4 and put on a Hayden electric fan that I acquired. Admittedly my engine had been rebuilt and "balanced" not too m

Without it, the stock cap will definitely suck air back in, rather than pulling water from the overflow bottle. So the only question is whether with the gasket, it will pull water from the bottle. M

I have seen several TR3 caps where the upper plate itself was not air tight. If memory serves, they all had a dish in the center with a rivet head in the middle, and would leak air around that rivet

I beg to differ. If you drill a hole through the top of the cap, it will still hold pressure in the radiator, because the pressure seal does not include the top of the cap. However, it will not hold

Trevor talks about overheating. Removing the thermostat may (as Joe correctly states) show a lower gage reading. Not a cooler engine. The reason is that heat transfer relates to the speed of the wate

The false assumption in that is that it's not the same water. It's not analogous to a car. An engine uses a small amount of water that goes around and around. We aren't talking about heating a pan of
