Re: Car Running Too Cold?

sorry but your not making much sense to me- he thought the problem might be associated to extractors- mechanic said to him:

Quote:
The idiot is still sticking to the story that my extractors and radiator are causing the engine to run cool. I spoke to the mechanic today. he told me that because the radiator is too big(this is a standard Morrie radiator) for the Datsun engine, as the engine is warming up the water passes into the radiator via the BOTTOM hose and mixes with the cold water in the radiator and then the cold water goes into the engine via the BOTTOM and the engine just cant get itself warmed up.


this make sense in regards to the thermostat not opening. nothing directly involved to the extractors, just an idea omen had.

im no mechanic but in cold eropean and even alpine regions in australin winters, they do restrict airflow to the radiator by blocking off the airflow- cardboard is just a rudimentary way of doing it.

ive had extractors on every datsun i have ever owend, never had this issue related to extractors, just issues with radiators.

personally try the cartdboard, if it works your onto something. if it doesnt,move on through process of elimination.
