hey guys, my car has always run on the hot side and i cant figure out why?
Its a h/c/i 89 AOD vert. It has an edelbrock aluminum waterpump, summit aluminum radiator, black magic electric fan (covers half the radiator) 180 thermostat, and a canton racing 2 qt recirculating catch can.
The problem is even when not beating on it in cool weather, the temp can get up to like 205 and then it overfills my catch can and coolant spills everywhere. This is really getting annoying and i really dont think it should run that hot.
My only thoughts were that my fan is too small since it only covers 1 side of my radiator. But then alot of guys run the same fan without problems.
Can timing affect engine temps at all?
any help is appreciated
thanks!
