Hi NXJ4CB,
Your "Also, I read the temps at the radiator tanks and they are uneven" - can you give a little more description of what this means? Where on tanks? Are these the side tanks that run vertically when radiator is in vehicle? Horizontal tank at the top? Bottom? How uneven? How do you read temperature at spots on these tanks? Interesting to explore heat distribution within the radiator.
Thanks!
The measurements i read were, 160's at the top and bottom third of the tanks and the middle third roughly engine temps 200's. This was measured with an infrared thermometer going up and down the side tanks through the grill and not measuring the tube at all due to the condenser being in front of it. Discussions with smarter people tell me that the part of my radiator that is actually is the middle. The two thirds that aren't working are the stagnating cool areas.
I'm regretting the title of this thread. Definitely NOT solved! Yet! I've seen so many threads with no consensus on the solution. I was so happy when my temps went to normal I thought I have to spread the word...
Even if I haven't saved the world. At least this thread is out there and you gents are considering another angle I haven't seen in a forum yet.
I apologize for the misleading title. SOLVED is a big claim.
Thanks,
