Hey guys,
Got the 505 installed and she is running great, but WAY too hot. Yes, I've heard from everyone that a new engine needs to be broken in and it will run "a little hotter" until things loosen up, but this is too much.
It's a brand new Champion Aluminum 4 Row 26" radiator, with twin electric fans, I think 12" fans. I'm running straight water with No-Rosion added here in South Florida.
At highway speeds, it's about 205 to 210. Get onto the side roads and it gets up to 250. I don't like it.
I do not want to use a pulley driven fan. I had the same exact problem with the 383 I removed for the 505. So, the common denominator is the cooling system, with different engines, both run VERY hot.
Any thoughts guys?
Thanks,
John
