Finally, going to take my sand car out! Its been like 2 years in the making. I'll try to take some pictures or video. Just going for the day and then sunday going to the offroad swapmeet.  who

just got back! Buggy run great for a motor that sat for 8 years. The only problem beside me wanting more part is that it runs hot. (about 230) people say thats not bad. But I would like it the run like 180. It has a new radiator and water pump. We took out the thermostat. I'm thinking that it's the timing. But the spark plugs look like they are burning good.

Agreed, 230 is too high. However I do knoe that a thermostat is required in most closed cooling systems. The thermostat slows down the water flow to allo time for the water to cool. Check your timing, like we discussed on the phone, first. I know you have an electric fan, does it have a shroud? Is the radiator rated for a 8 cyl motor? Water pump, what kind are you using?

just before going down the street for the first time

 

It's about fuc*ing time you learned to use your camera! Or is Klesh doing all the work?

But all in all, not bad for the first trip ever. small problem but fixable It was over heating after about 20 to 30mins into a ride. I was running it little hard too.
