Hey Garage, when I logged, we had one skidder that always ran cold and when I pulled the valve cover off to get to the injectors the whole top end had milky slime on everything. It all came from running too cold.

Yea I'm thinking its that also, today I got it all cleaned up and will start putting it back together tomorrow, (intake/distributor/exh manifold and riser.
Hey guys I'm thinking about putting a valve to regulate the incoming water. I'm also putting in a 180 dg temp thermostat. What do you guys think about the regulating valve?

NO on the rgulating valve. Figure out why your set-up is bypassing first. Does your T-stat have a plastic sleeve that goes in and holds it upwards? The water should be able to circulate through the block all the time, but when the T-stat opens it allows it to flow out and suck in more from the raw water pump. Do you currently have a universal pump? I know some engine driven water pumps are directional, and some are able to turn either way. If your's is a serpentine only style, and you run it with a V-belt it will run to cold. The cooling sytem on your engine is so simple, it can be confusing. You could also have a blockage in your T-stat housing that is allowing the raw water pump to force cold water in. Take a picture of how your installing the housing, particularly the T-stat portion.

like Ferm said, if the thermostat is installed correctly, you shouldn't need anthign else to get the engine to run warmer, you shouldn't need that 180 thermostat. And a pic would help.
I don't think the pm are working correctly, or I couldn't figure it out, garagenc, call (843)532-9148 David Last edited by spareparts; 01-07-2008 at 10:14 PM.
