Running too hot!!

[DRASTiK]

Take that thermostat out and throw it across the street,then buy yourself a 180 stat

Good idea on how to discard the old stat. I think I'll do that. I already have a heavy duty 180 ready to be put in later today.

Maybe the fan is just freewheeling?

As a matter of fact, my clutch fan does the opposite. It's very tough to move the fan when the motor isn't running. I would replace it, but I figure that it's basically like running a flex fan, so until I fix the cooling problem, I'll leave it as is.

moroso washer instead of thermostat, and will be running a meziere elec pump soon...(which is replacing an edelbrock hiflow if anyone is interested in it, Drastik?)

I was thinking of the restrictor instead of the stat also, but most people have advised me not to go that route. How old is the Edelbrock? I may just be interrested in it.

One quick question about high flow water pumps. If the pump is flowing water faster, won't that have the same effect as the 160 thermostat? Water running through the system too fast to cool down? Or am I missing something? Please explain.
