Re: block coolant drain
after engine start-up temp will rise to mid-range, and keep creeping all the way up to about 250-260 deg where it will hang for a few minutes (about 3) then will come down into the mid range (about 200 deg). if at a stop/idle, temp will shoot back up to 250-260. giving it gas to make rpm's climb at a stop will bring it back down some (about 220). once driving again w/ normal rpm's, temp stays in mid-normal range. after swapping thermostat and radiator, if i leave idle after engine start and motor was cool, ...temp will stay dead center (i let it run for 10 minutes, it was like a rock)...where as before, it would skyrocket at idle. however, as soon as you get it on the road, temp climbs. WTF?
