Overheating Help Please
Hi Team
Some of you might remember our cobra as BITTEN now BITES in custom orange paint. We may have upset a few by not sticking to originality but that’s our thing.
My Dad and brother and I have built BITES from scratch over the last 20 years.
She looks great and the 331 is unbelievable. I must admit that we probably went too aggressive with the Cam as it’s making power past 8,200rpm which robs torque but it’s a light car.
To my issue. She is on the road and handles amazing with the Penskes however she gets way too hot for my liking. Sits in the 90 degree C mostly but climbs to 110 (at that point I stop or get to open road and it drops to high 90’s or low 100’s).
I have just installed a brand new highest output SPAL thermo fan - no difference.
Removed the stupid accusump (doesn’t hold primed air pressure) to see if it was blocking air flow- no difference.
It has an electric water pump and was professionally tuned with a Link Xtreme ecu and a 3 core alloy radiator.
It is possible that the cam is retarded to a point that’s contributing but changing that is a major issue (engine out and retune).
Any help will be appreciated greatly
