1. [Healeys] Runnin' hot (score: 1): Author: "Alan Grossman" <agrossman@pacific.net>; Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 09:16:57 -0700; I have this new to me '58 100 6. Has been "restored' by po, but I have no Hits about 200 on the gauge after moderate driving in mid 80s ambient weather. Does not seem to get much hotter at idle.

I didn't know that too "rich" a coolant mix could would make it run hooter, and it does look awfully deep green. I think I should start with a temp check (duh!) for a basel; /html/healeys/2011-08/msg00251.html (9,521 bytes)

Re: [Healeys] Runnin' hot (score: 1): Author: Bob Spidell <bspidell@comcast.net>; Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 18:54:28 +0000 (UTC); One of the major topics (along with 'which oil,' 'which tires,' etc.). Healeys tend to run hot, probably due to being underradiated with not-too-good airflow through the engine compartment (hence lou; /html/healeys/2011-08/msg00253.html (8,429 bytes)

Turns out the gauge was reading high by at least 10 F. Also drained some coolant and replaced with water, and lowered the temp a bit. Really appreciate the help, stay tuned for m; /html/healeys/2011-08/msg00269.html (7,992 bytes)

Swap to a 180, and it should be better. Also consider your guage may be a bit inaccurate. Confirm this stuff first before get; /html/healeys/2011-08/msg00280.html (8,877 bytes)

Re: [Healeys] Runnin' hot (score: 1): Author: Derek Job <derek.c.job@gmail.com>; Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 08:15:58 +0200; The thermostat does not determine the temperature at which the engine will run. It determines the temperature at which coolant is first allowed to circulate around the engine. Derek ________________; /html/healeys/2011-08/msg00286.html (10,347 bytes)

Re: [Healeys] Runnin' hot (score: 1): Author: Alan Seigrist <healey.nut@gmail.com>; Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 14:41:58 +0800; Incidentally, a thermostat will open and close all the time when the engine is running, depending on coolant temp. It doesn't just open in the beginning and stay open. Best, Alan -- Sent from my mobi; /html/healeys/2011-08/msg00289.html (11,030 bytes)
