I used the camp stove as well with a board across the engine bay. Then with the gauge face off and the water boiling, removed the needle and repositioned it at 212. When it cooled it magically set ba

I know that I am not in the dessert, but when is it recommended to switch to the 160 degree thermostat? As I said the other day the temp of the car, when driving in a 90 degree day was about 195. Her

Hi Dave, There is no boiling, or evident overheating, it's running at 195. I'm just trying to knock it down about 10 degrees. I don't know what the PO has in there as far as a thermostat and cap, so

I think that the important thing on the six cylinder engines is to get the correct thermostat with the sleeve on it. The sleeve covers a bypass port in the head when the thermo is open. Not at Pep B

Speaking of temperatures and our Healeys, has anyone put an oil cooler on and does it make a difference? Just curious as I am thinking of adding an oil cooler when I get my engine built and back in,

OK - In a hot climate, the sleeve is as important, or more, than the temperature setting. Go here & order # GTS 1. http://www.britishcarspecialists.com/ I don't know if it is 170, or 180, or 190 deg

Just another little note on the cooling issue: Make sure you have the air deflectors (or whatever the real name for them is) around the radiator installed properly. A nice tight fit on these can make

Hi Patton, I don't think that the gage not fully returning is much of a problem. Don't know about the cleaning. You can check the car's gage by putting the sensor in a can of water & heating it with

I am going to set up my camp stove next to the car, it seems a little safer than trying to hold a propane torch (which I don't own anyhow). I threw out a couple dual gauges that had the capillary tub

Unfortunately those two without the bulb are long gone. They were black face ones so it costs about as much to buy a new one as it would to get one fixed. Patton Patton Dickson - Richmond, TX '57 A-H

I had my gauge redone by Nysongers for $125 three years ago. I had broken the capillary tube trying to remove the bulb from the head. It came back looking like new, works great and seems accurate. No
