Chevy 496 running hot
I have a 496 in my Camaro with a aluminum four row radiator, dual electric fans and a 160 deg thermostat. She runs at 192 with both fans on in town driving with about mid 90s outside temp. I believe the water pump is a high output pump but don't remember for sure. So thoughts about getting her to run cooler? Plus my upper radiator hose is a little bit smaller diameter due to wanting a stainless steal hose not sure if that matters so much.
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
