Blueprint 408 cooling system questions.

why would you say that?
Right in his first post he said exactly what was going on.
And later in the thread he said what he was told when he called for help…that what he was seeing was..” normal” for a new motor.
That was the dumbest response i have ever heard. Extremely poor advice and or knowledge

I would agree the heat during driving being related to break-in is incorrect. I would assume that is a miscommunication referencing how engines going through cam break-in regularly don't see enough timing at low RPM, and that can lead to increased Temps.

The rest of the thread bounces around trying to diag everything from a dieseling carb, to distributor advance, to cooling system. And those items were not supplied or tested with the engine.

I will point out that 205, on a 50 year old factory temp gauge, isn't a good sole indicator of if it was actually overheating.

I am happy to work with him if he ever gets back on. Anyone that has dealt with me on the forum is well aware I'm more than willing to help anyone.
