Could it be that the engine is very tight and needs a head lubricant in the fuel, or does that only work with petrol engines?

My advice is: not to follow my advice.
Everything checked out on motor , has been over United Fuel Injection Dyno , and retuned - power increased to normal , but still runs hot , waiting for warmer weather to test more
What temp does it run at? Good to hear the power is back.
Runs just under half , at idle and normal driving .... I think this is about 84'c , am thinking of getting a digital temp gauge for more accuracyOriginally Posted by Dales300exc
Ill be happy if mine runs at 84. Need something more than the factiry gauge for any accuracy.
Thats about where my gu sits and never really moves from there. I have had aftermarket gauges on them and half can be between 70-80 which is pretty much where you want it. 84 degrees is pretty good.
Trouble is , when I put caravan on & climb a long hill (not steep) , temperature keeps rising - goes to 3/4 on a cool day with no aircond ... when its at 84'c and idling the thermostat is fully open - have checked stroke on thermostat - it opens to 41mm above 84'c - hence it closes off the bypass under the thermostat - just too much heat coming from engine ??
What radiator was installed? Are you running coolant or just water?
running factory coolant
Radiator is copper/brass twin core , original was aluminium/plastic
Have been following this site as well http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/engin...ot-td42-62472/
Do you still have the original?
