    Fair enough...
    So you know the engine passes compression checks etc. which is good news but a litre of coolant maybe dodgy over only 1000 K's.
    Might be air in the system or somesuch

    Obviously it is running too hot at 95 degrees.
    The temp should be down around high 80's very low 90's during normal driving.
    This is where the thermostat is cracking open and starting to regulate the temp.
    During normal driving there is no way it should hit 105 let alone 115 even on a really hot day.
    It also shouldn't matter about teh Bar Work as most of us on here are running at or near GVM with all the crap and toys we have hanging off our rigs.

    It also can't suddenly jump to 115 from 95 unless you have a really unusual problem such that a gush of superheated water suddenly comes from somewhere or you get air locks.
    There is just too much mass in the coolant to heat up that quickly.
    Are you sure the temps you are seeing are accurate?

    Anyhoooow... bottom line would be if you are confident the engine is good then get a good LPG tune done, check the thermostat in some boiling water and check the viscous fan for correct operation.
