Kerry..... 20 degrees does'nt seem like a lot but if the light had
flashed at the preset of 205 degrees you are not yet at a boiling
point and can shut it down, but if the senser did'nt warn me untill
225 at this point you are beyond boiling and pushing water out of
your system for possible 3-5 miles and the more you loose the faster
the temp is rising and an eminent failure can happen REAL fast cause
your 40 feet from the situation and its behind you so you do'nt even
smell the antifreese...

As for the washer type thing...... I got an email today telling me
Bluebird installed them....... I,m looking into this because I would
like to know why they installed them.. I will tell you this, I did
notice a temp. fluxuation on my way back from Colorado without the
washer...I will describe this fluxuation and it only happened in the
evening when the outside temp. was cooler.....the temp gauge would
read 180 and over a span of about 3-4 miles would gradually increase
to about 195,, in a matter of 1 mile it would return to 180 and the
cycle would repeat over and over.....In thinking about this and
wondering about why this would happen at night in cooler weather and
not during the day the common sense of the hole situation (to me at
least) is this...During the day when the outside temp is warmer the
temp. controlled fan runs all the time,consiquently keeping the temp
at the 180 thermostat set.. but in the evening when the outside temp.
lowers, the fan will automatically shut down and the temp will
gradually rise to 195 where the fan is designed to kick in and cool
back to 180,,,,, wallau.. the rise and fall of the temp. fluxuation..

Now if in fact the washer was installed to illiminate this
fluxuation I don't know... I only know this, the guy that overhauled
the motor said that whoever put that washer in there may have had a
purpose in mind, but restricting the flow of cool water to the
drivers side head ( is what it does in that location) is crazy..

I can also tell you that the drivers side exhaust manifold was
cracked and needed to be replaced.. if this was because that side ran
hotter because of the washer,,I don'nt know......

whether that washer should have been installed by Bluebird or
not ,,again I don't know... hopefully we have some 8v92 gorroozzs out
there to jump in on this......LET THE DEBATE BEGIN..... DAN
