My 216 engine - I have replaced the thermostat, water pump, flushed out radiator and block. It wants to run anywhere from 180 -200 by gauge.
I take an infrared temp sensor on my engine on passenger side it runs 140-170. However, on the driver side it runs at lower part of engine 170-185 and on upper part above exhaust manifold it runs from front 170-180-190-220 at the back of engine where temperature sending unit goes into top of head. It wants to vapor lock.
The radiator also starts at the bottom of 120 degrees and top of radiator gets around 180 at top. If I look down radiator with cap off / there is no flow of water. When we turn car off after it’s been running it seems to not boil water but gargle water down the radiator. I flushed it out.
I understand there is an exhaust manifold on that side but more toward the back of the motor (drivers side) it gets hotter
What can I do or try? Any suggestions? I sure appreciate the help.
