Hi all,
As the title says, I?m running an 86 245, N/A, with a 180f/82c thermostat, and a re-cored and flowed 3-row rad I got from the JY. I also have the compensator board removed and jumperd.. It still sometimes likes to creep up when I?m going up the mountain or beating on it. Do I have a blocked coolant tube in the engine??
I had a 189 in it but it was sitting constantly at 3/4 on the temp gauge. With the 180 it has been pretty solid right at the half way mark. When I asked the Volvo shop guys he just laughed and said ?throw a colder thermostat in there!?
Any ideas?
