Re: Evanscool

Have you just tried adding a couple of bottles of Red Line Water Wetter?

Run - distilled water - no water from a garden hose... and barely any anti freeze -- and at least one bottle of the Water Wetter...

If you're still running hot - I'd have to ask you if you have a fan shroud? Electric or engine driven fan? If electric - are you getting full voltage? If electric are you using relays to the fan(s)... If engine driven - how close is the fan to the radiator? Are you using an anti collapse spring in the suction side hose? You may be collapsing your lower radiator hose...

But in the end - nothing wrong with running 200 degrees --- new Vettes run 220.... it's only really a problem if the temp keeps climbing.
