I've just replaced the water pump and thermostat on my TR3A, and found that the engine runs about 5-10 degF hotter. The replacement thermostat is the modern type which, when it opens, allows water to

Yeah, that's about right, and you'll find that it overheats a lot easier also. Early TR thermostats are a regular source of questions (FAQ time) here on the list. The easiest fix is to block most of

Hi all, I've been following the problems people are having with getting hold of skirted thermostats. The Australian Ford Falcon (largish 6 cylinder sedan) uses a skirted thermostat. I had a look at m

Jay, I say definitely need a thermostat. Standard is 185 degree I think and it should be the sleeved type. Any other combination could lead to MAJOR problems. Without the thermostat you have unrestri

A TR3 has a radiator bipass. This allows water to circulate within the engine while the thermostat is closed. This eliminates hot spots in the head that can lead to head cracks. The thermostat has a
