got a new fan clutch put it in the fan pulls air hard now, no over heating at a sit still. but the car still gets dangerously hot. it seems to do fine in 4th gear at 2500 rpms, the heat gauge sits beetween 1/2 and 3/4's but when i put her into 5th and cruise around 2500 to 3000 rpms the guage sits over 3/4's and gets almost to the red mark... i have no idea why, and i can't get the air out of the system it just keeps pouring out. the guys at my local shop whom i somewhat trust are telling my dad that they think i have a leak somewhere in my head causing the over heating, but i thought i ruled it out by getting an HC test, but apparently the hc test isn't bullet proof? i have no idea.
so now i'm just thinking maybe i want to swap a later model m20 into my car. couldn't be to expensive, i just don't want to tear down this engine without any knowledge.
thoughts r3v?
