ok so my new lwb 1ltr keeps heating up anything over 70 km/phr for a sustained period over 30 degrees and the temp goes up to 3/4, same when it sits at the lights for extended periods. heres the thing its got a new head, new radiator, new thermostat, new water pump, tried adjusting the timing other than shoving a 1.3 rad in what else could it be ? oh and fan and shroud are like new |

I had the same problem, crap from the block was blocking the tubes in a new radiator. Either have a look through the filler cap in your radiator or stick a stocking over the top inlet hose drive around a little and have a look. |

is the gauge accurate ? is the fan surround in good condition ? does it cool down again when you slow down or does it stay hot ? |

yeah the thermostat i took out was brand new and i replaced it with a genuine one, same prob. just ordered one of those $150 alloy 1.3 sierra rads from ebay ive had sucess with them in the past, and i would have needed to upgrade later if i do a conversion anyway. now i play the waiting game

on mine I found shrouding the front of the radiator to teh grill helped heaps, stopped the air going round at speed and hot air circulating round it sitting still |
