Disco eating up water

Post by Jay »

Hey guys

Engine on my disco(retroffited a 4.6 HSE engine) is eating up a bit of water, fill the radiator bottle about 0.2 l/week altough it is only my weekend car.
Temp gauge is always below middle, no water leaks....Had to replace one of the water hoses(bottom 4 headed one) for the first time since 96 it did touch the fan belt pulley somehow and go cut...

Still have the sock radiator and woud like to keep my engine cooler any suggestion.


Aprreciate any feedback or similar experience

Jay,

I have never had heating issues, but have anticipated some to come should I get the 5.2 monster in there (forgot to tell you about it :))...

Anyways, I'm manufacturing an Aluminum radiator that is 2" taller to accomodate the body lift and will be installing a dual Kenlowe Fan system...

The set-up is extremely expensive, but this is as good as it gets!

Will call you tomorrow for a quick 4-5 romp before Christmas dinner...
