Hello All - Been a while since I've had time to work on my Rover.. Anyways, I've been dealing with an over heating issue with my Rover, and I've done a lot of diagnostics.
Today, I purchased a digital it ]thermometer and I used it to measure the temps of the radiator. I am attempting to find "cool" spots on my radiator. The thinking is that the radiator may be clogged.


I measured the temp at several locations on the radiator. At the top of radiator I measured temps raging from 180-210 - Near the center of the radiator I measured temps raging from 150-170 - Near the bottom of the radiator I measured temps raging from 100-120 -


Does any one have any input on this?
Are these normal temps?


Any input is helpful..
Thanks in advance...

 

You need a new radiator.

 

180 to 210 doesn't seem too high. Is the block getting hotter than than that? Perhaps the gage or sender is reporting hotter than it is?

BTW, anyone know why some text shows up in blue and sometimes comes out as formatting information that you can't edit out?

 

I didn't measure block temps. Should the block be the same temp? where on the block should I measure the temp?


Thanks for our help...
