Welcome and have fun (and help and inspiration) here. Pics of your ride?

You from Daytona beach? Man, I completely missed taking that into account when I was at the Rolex 24h in January... o_O

Or you have a visco coupled fan, then it should have some resistance while the belt is on. Visco coupling is heat actuated and fully turns the fan only when hot. Water pump is meanwhile always turned by the belt.

If it does open, there's most likely lots of dirt, grime and such in the cooling system. I'd then suggest to flush the whole system. Else it could (I'd say unlikely) be the water pump. If you take the belt off, the fan (it is connected to the impeller inside) should turn very easily.

Take the thermostat out, it will be closed. Put it in a pot with boiling water and it will open. You will see the closing plate to open. ;)

Hard to say. You can test the thermostat in a pot with boiling water, it has to fully open.

Justwondering will be back soon.

Batteries die over time. Take one that fits your needs for the right look. :cool:

Doesn't The proport valve have position to block off one circuit?

Welcome & nice rides. :cool:

Nice ride and welcome. Good to see young people around ;)

Had an oil filter fully plugged (= no oil pressure!) due to bad design of the flowback valve (it bot only stopped backflow, but also normal forward flow) and it was a K&N. Saw that mess after I opened it up. Also opened up a WIX, completely different design on the flowback valve, this could not...

Very nice. Welcome.

Another day, another meet. Did a 200 mls roundtrip with the 69 Charger today (almost unbelievable 17.3 mpg), great meet, but weather was kind of not-nice (strong and cold gusts)... Here you'll find my pictures - including (IIRC) 1 Diplomat Station. Car Meetings / 2025 05 Kaunitz | gecius.de...
