Hi Joel;

congratulations on getting your Tiger to run cool!

I, like many other Tiger owners, have tramped down this overheating path
for many years, and most of us have found the solution more or less in the
same way you have done.

In my personal search for Tiger temperature nirvana, I came across this
very interesting article regarding 160F Thermostats.
You might want to re-consider your choice of thermostats.  HOTRODSRJ@AOL.CO=
M


In another specialty car I run regularly, I had a similar problem, and
corrected it in a similar manner.  However, on this car I installed an oil
pan temperature gauge, and found it very difficult to get the engine oil up
beyond 180F. which I have not been able to remedy. The water temperature is
very steady on this vehicle at 195F, regardless of the load on the
engine.No way is the engine oil ever going to reach 220 deg to boil off the
H20 condensate in the crank case. Not sure what to do about this, besides
changing the oil very frequently.

Just some interesting info, FWIW.

Cheers,

Dave Munroe B382000450LRXFE
