Overheating -- Head gaskets?
I will do that. They're a good one to go with when running a high compression modded motor in the hot rod world. I think they fit well in the Rover world specifically for the siamesed blocks where pockets are almost a given. When I was in the Deep South, afternoon stop and go traffic, I could watch the temp gauge climb until the auxiliaries kicked on and then watch the needle head down. A pump like this would alleviate much of that, moderate it. Same thing when crawling/climbing in low rpms.
I've had zero issues with my swap other than the fill neck clearance. I ended up cutting a hole in the good and covering it with a functional hood scoop. I run at 175* ish all day.. Electric fans don't ever come on. Wheeled her hard yesterday all day the desert (50+ miles just to get there) and highest temp I saw was 186*. Plastic rad tanks held up just fine...
wellllll..
Looks like I will be going after that GM swap after all

Radiator is in bad shape.. this all developed sometime during the past year it was clean before I did the water pump

Ordinance duly noted, well documented and fully on board. I was glad to have somebody do it and post it up cuz this forum isn't the most technical, more like a help desk which is fine. It is a good group of folks.....some I've known on the Rover net since 08. The temps your getting are perfect, I know it can handle a 5L motor with no issues.
Nuke......tada! I knew something wasn't playing nice. Take lots of pics......
