    Unhappy overheating

     



    Dr. Jim:
    GET THAT TIMING BACK! To where it should be!
    Or a very degrees slightly in advance.. But!
    A few degrees, + or -, past a certain point can really destroy an engine, power and/or mpg!
    If it is not set correctly, you'll have the engine fighting itself to run!
    That Is! Not A Good Thing!
    I'm sure that you have checked this!....
    BUT! Also...
    Is you rad. large enough for the new engine ?
    Oh! By The WAY!
    Most engines/water pumps are build/designed to run on a
    50-50 antifreeze/water solution!
    W/O which, you'll induce caviation, which is another BAD! Thing!
