The temperature seams to climb to 195 or even 210 at idle. When the RPMs increase the temperature drops to 180. When I shift into 3rd gear temperature begins to climb until RPMs increase. What's happening? The water pump is rebuilt.
My other engine seemed to be constant at 180.
This is a rebuilt 216 bored over 40 thousandths
of an inch.
RPM's go down temp increases, RPM's go up temp decreases.
Is the fan belt tensioned correct? Belt loose fan slips and the water pump does not turn fast enough
at lower RPM's. Also verify correct size pulley is
on the crank and water pump and correct width fan
belt. Jeffrey
