I had my stock radiator changed to a 4-row core. The top and bottom is =
large enough for that. The side rails need to be modified to accept the =
extra width but that is not hard to do. The temperature is 190 to 200 F. =
It will get hotter if stopped for a long period of time.

The proper placement of the air deflectors. You said they might be =
wrong. My car runs hot too. New radiator, block flush. Electric push =

I would also suggest that you take a careful look at the baffles that =
are, or should be, installed forward from the sides of the radiator to =
the grille. If these baffles aren't correctly fitted hot air from the =
backside of the radiator will swirl around to the front and pass through =
the radiator again and thus seriously deminish its cooling ability.

Your comments "high speed. run of twenty miles" and "extra series of =
cooling tubes" may offer some clues. Fan blades flex away from the side =
that pushes air, in other words towards the radiator. The extra cooling =
tubes may have reduced the clearance between the radiator and the fan. =
There isn't much clearance to begin with. The combination of the two may =
have been enough for the fan to hit the radiator.
=20
The other issue is what caused the overheating. At high speeds the fan =
has little to no effect on cooling. Unless the ambient temperature was =
very high and you were going up a steep hill the colling system should =
keep up. What was the water temperature gauge saying?

Listers,
My BJ8 seems beleaguered with misfortune. A couple of weeks ago I =
noted the oil pressure gauge wildly oscillating at various speeds. It =
vanished two days later.
Yesterday a high speed. run of twenty miles produce an overheating =
radiator with fluid spewing from the overflow tube. To my horror, I saw =
that the Texas cooler fan which I'd had for at least 25 years had =
confronted the engine side of the radiator leaving a distinct circular =
impression and abrasion to the tip of one of the fan blades. That =
radiator was rebuilt two years ago with an extra series of cooling tubes =
and had given no problems for at least 5000 miles. I assumed the harness =
which prevents the engine from sliding forward was faulty. Inspection of =
the underside did not support that conclusion--it looked fine to me: all =
bushings and nuts were in place. I ran the engine after filling the =
radiator and saw no evidence of recurrence of the fan nudging the =
radiator. I'm perplexed what to do next. Thanks for your thoughts......
