Hi List,
I'm a bit curious where the idea that 185 F is too hot for a TR6 engine comes
from. To my understanding, engines run more efficiently when they are good and
warm ( say 200 + F) the radiator cap is there so that the system can go well
above 212 F and still function as intended. You actually *WANT* your engine to
be good and warm. Seems like a lot of worry is going into a temperature
indicator that doesn't even have a scale on it. My electric fan doesn't come on
till 205 or something like that.
Anyone want to set me straight?

74.5 TR6 (apparently in need of an oil cooler, a different fan switch, a
different thermostat, water wetter, and timing advance)
