overheating problem   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #173 of 778 |


Hi everyone.

I am having overheating problems with my stock 1600 engine. When I
drive my superbug, "Junior", for about an hour or so, the oil warning
light (I believe it's also known as the "idiot" light) starts to
flicker. The light however goes off each time I rev the engine.

The fan seems to be in good working order and the engine tin wares
are all complete. I had even gone to the extent of having the engine
opened 2 times already to check and re-check the oil pump, the engine
case and oil passageways, as well as the oil cooler, but we still
couldn't find the trouble!

Please help!

Charlie

Charlie, When you split the case did you check all the main bearing journals, Crank end-float, etc? I wonder if your bearings are worn giving you low oil...

Yes, Mark. In fact, while the engine was apart, we decided to just overhaul the thing and replaced the bearings and all, even though some of these parts still...
