I have been dealing with some overheating issues lately and right when i think i have them nailed down this happens.I replaced the t-stat late last nite and today i went out to make sure everything is ok.i drilled 2 small holes opposite each other in the t-stat to help bleed the system of air.
I will run the engine at idle and it will come to 200-210 and the e-fan will come on for about 10 mins, shut off at around 180. All is well right?
After shutting it off and giving it time to cool off, i go out to give everything a once over, and i notice the upper hose is collapsed in about 3 spots.
If i take the surge tank cap off it releases the "vaccum" and the hose goes back to its normal shape.
Any ideas what is causing this? I will be putting the stroker in and converting to the 91
+ set up in the next month or so, but i need this fixed untill then.
