Hello

 

I agree with Kees, 190=C2=B0F is no big deal. The gauges fitted to Austin-H=
ealeys read to 230=C2=B0F and when the needle goes past that is when you sh=
ould start worrying.

190=C2=B0F is no big deal, boiling point is well over 212=C2=B0F. However c=
heck the accuracy of the thermometer to be sure of a correct reading.

Thought I'd share my experience with the alum radiator.


First I had the OEM radiator boiled cleaned etc..  Then I put in a flex fan=
=2E  Finally a 160 degree F thermostat.

    Results: Helped a bit but in the summer and in the desert the temp went=
 to almost 190F.

 

Talked to someone who had an alum. in his MGTD.  Said it gave him 20% incre=
ase in cooling.  So being foolish I bought one. 

    Results:  Absolutely NO change.  Well it lightened my pocket book.

 

Recently talked to a man who made a shroud for his healey and claimed it ma=
de a big difference alng with his Texas Fan (6 bladed).

     Results:  I started to make the shroud BUT.  The fan is not centered o=
n the radiator.   The fan is 1 inch to the left of the radiator.  So the pl=
ans for a shroud isn't going to work as is.

 

      Questions:  Is the motor incorrectly mounted causing the offset? 

                        If I put in an electric fan is it best to remove th=
e flex fan completely?

                        Would a four core radiator be of any help?

                        Should I ignore my fear and let the temp go to 190F=
 without a worry?

I live in the desert and have to go over a 5000 foot mountain to get to Las=
 Vegas.

Thanks..............    Al
