First I'd like to thank those who responded to my earlier inquiry.
As suggested, I placed a thermometer in the radiator opening and after
nearly 40 minutes, the temperature stayed steady at 200 degrees (no pusher
fan) with the temp gauge reading 3/4 (3 quarters). At exactly 160 degrees
the thermostat opened as I could see the water start to move. Try as I
might, I couldn't get it to run into the red as it was doing previously.
I then placed the cap back on the radiator and within 5 minutes the temp
gauge started creeping toward the red.
Now as I scratch my head I ponder the next step. Can the radiator cap be
responsible for this or is the pressure from the closed system an issue?
Still seeking some more advice
