Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has heard of adding a water pipe from the rear of the block to the radiator or the front of the engine to cure the heating up problem when up it on a long hill or when towing.
It's a rebuilt engine with after market turbo, no intercooler , 10 lbs boost, auto.
On a long hill would get up to 3/4 on the guage without towing so not game to tow anything yet till I sort something out.
I slow down because I think it would just keep getting hotter.
I took the 3 row radiator out and put a new addrad 2 row in with some holes drilled in the thermostat ,and it sits around 1/4 most of the time. Problem is only hills or if I am game to tow with it.
I have read about this pipe being added and no more getting hot , also told a good quality 3 row which is specially built and a lot thicker also solves the problem. I have also heard this is quite common for these engines to get hot.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers Greg
