So the engine heats up and the thermostat closes... Restricting the water in the radiator and cooling the water...
Yep - stupid typo...NO the engine heats up and the stat. opens
And if the thermostat is properly installed, it's reading the block water temp and regulating the coolant flow for the block, not the radiator...But not cooling the block, it's only cooling the coolant.

LMAO! The management classes have been working huh?Because I read your "typo" post...
Let's just say we agree to disagree?

I'm back had to eat a hambuger and a
Don't give up EB, the pump pumps the water out of the block to quick to cool it once the stat opens.
It takes a few miles but it finaly catches up and overheats on the highway. At least mine does, on the trails it's fine.( high flow pump) With a reg. pump it's fine on the highway but runs on the hot side on the trails.

Thanks EB because of that I needed someNewton's law of cooling, states that the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings, or environment. The law is
![]()
Q = Thermal energy in joules
h = Heat transfer coefficient
A = Surface area of the heat being transferred
T0 = Temperature of the object's surface
Tenv = Temperature of the environment
The heat transfer coefficient, in thermodynamics and in mechanical and chemical engineering, is used in calculating the heat transfer, typically by convection or phase change between a fluid and a solid:

where
ΔQ = heat input or heat lost
h = heat transfer coefficient
A = heat transfer surface area
ΔT = difference in temperature between the solid surface and surrounding fluid area
Δt = time period, s
to make my head stop hurting Thanks EB because of that I needed someto make my head stop hurting

Alright, here's another one on me. Because finding it in the mountain of tech and training manuals I have saved on my computer gave me a headache too
