Cooling probs

Post by wolfengo »

Hi everyone i changed the coolant on ma rr(84 carby v8) now it gets more hot than usual. It always sits just above the white now it sits just below half and moves all over the place slowly so it will get to about half then drops agen depends on da revs as well at crusin speed it will sit at half then wen ya get to da lights it will drop so im confused.

Is there a problem wif the temp senser or the guage???

Cheers AZZA

First thing to check is the gauge.
Then you'll know if it's an engine problem or an instrument problem.
