Tried it again today. Fixed the fuel leak on the line, switched the temp and oil gauges. fired right up ran a few minutes and the temp was up to 210 with a 180 thermo. Shut it down and let it cool then removed the thermo and tried it that way. Temp was up to 195 after about 5 min. Just can't seem to keep it cool. The radiator is mounted to the stand and it's a big one. The last engine was a 383 stroker and it keep it cool with just a box fan on the front of the radiator. Then the rebuilt by me zenith started to leak out the side of the trottle body where the butterfly goes through. Any ideas on what the problem might be with the cooling. everything is new.
