    Cooling systems that are inadquete are similar to playing musical chairs---as the music goes on and on and you go round and round---when the music stops something overheats.

    In both Rogers pattern and the one I described they are a loop and both somewhat do the same thing--

    However---In Rogers world he will have overheated his system before RECOVERY begins and in my system, I keep the ENGINE temps where I want them.(Unless in either case there is a failure somewhere)

    For those of you that claim to watch the guages---if your system is under capable of cooling your going to blow off some hoses or such----

    My watching gauges constantlly has nothing to do with the cooling system not being capable of doing the job, it is just my nature to glance at my temp, oil pressure, and volt meter every few minutes while driving. I even do it in my daily drivier. I keep the digital information screen turned on at all times so I can watch what is going on under my hood. I've done it for so many years it is just second nature now.

    My hot rods run cool going down the road and most times I don't even turn the fan on at a light, but living in Florida with our heat and humidity, we don't take anything for granted.............even the best engineered cars will run hot down here sometimes.
