fot, just returned from a frustrating week end at sebring raceway. the
racing was on a 1.7 mile course with a lot of time in 2nd/3rd gear and not many
long straights to cool down. the car would run 7/8 laps with the temp going up
on every lap. air temp was 90f+. when the gage was full scale (230f+) i'd
come in. with a 7# cap the water was immediately boiling when i turned the car
off, with a 16# cap when i turned the engine off the hoses blew off. i've got
the original size rad with a modern 5 row core. it's fairly well sealed so the
air has to go thru the rad. the oil cooler is mounted in the grill opening
with a shroud between it and the rad. in three years of trying this,
overheating remains my top problem. is there any ultimate solution? thanks for
any
comments or advice. ken m tr3 vintage racer
