hi rev water leak need help
Need help from the rest of the SBC gurues..
I have a 82 elky w/ a slightly modified 302
Recently changed carbs ( no probs) and was out on the shake down drive...
took engine to about 5500 rpms..ran out ok...but when i arrived back to the shop I noticed watrer underneath....took a look and found that one of the waterpump to block gaskets had started leaking...
So here is the question...how much pressure i is there in the cooling system at 4500-5500 rpm??
standard cooling system ..stock thermostat..no modifications to cooling system
new 3 core radiator installed 2yrs ago at overhaul...never a problem with cooling system prior to this..
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
