well summer is here again and I am getting hot AGAIN
Since I have now done ALL the standard repairs I am thinking the Ron Davis is causing the problems. I checked the temps at the inlet (upper) and outlet (lower) of my Ron Davis Radiator today. Ambient air temp in the shade was 85 degrees. Sitting at idle (for 20 minutes HOT) with hood open temp was taken using temp probe at
-front inlet corner of radiator core...215 degrees.
-front outlet corner of radiator core...175
That is a differnce of 40 degrees
I have:
-New clutch
-New Head Gasket
-Toy truck fan
-Super charger
-Cleaned injectors
-180 degree thermostat
My question is...does anybody have the same set up with the 3 core brass Toyota radiator that could take these temps under similar conditions? Dan don't you have this same set up more or less?
