Stuck a termometer down the reservoir today when needle was at 3/4 up, it read 96 Celsius. Does it sound True?

A little update. Installed a new fan clutch and a new cap on the reservoir and Also drained all of The coolant and replaced it. However, at temp 3o clock still the fan does not stop immediately. All hoses are warm. According to my laser about 170F. Lower rad hose is 130F. It is much better now...

Hmm, the bottom cup is not supposed to be filled on my tester, if I understand my manual correctly. It leaves a lot to ask. Perhaps that can affect the result Also? Attaching a hose to the overspill and leading it away from the car actually improved the result a bit.

My fan clutch is toast so will get a new one. Also a new reservoir lid, I suspect it doesn't seal well

No, blue smoke is gone.

Hmm, will close that of and try again! Also Thanks everyone for all the input, appreciate it.

Will check on monday but from memory I would say 4-5 revolutions

Been checking temperature with a laser now and it shows about 85 C, even with temp gauge higher than middle. None of the hoses are hard, which would indicate exhaust in coolant. Starting to question the reliability of The test or if it's possible that exhaust gases can be trapped within the...

Checked the block with light and Crick 120 crack detector. Found nothing. My exhaust coolant tester turns green though. Dont know what to make of it? Still runs hot, but not as before. Takes longer and kond of settles around 3/4 up. Will buy a new temp sensor and see IF that is acting up.

Getting my new Elring gasket tomorrow. Is there a trick to detect very fine cracks? I think my block is good but I want to make sure while I'm in there.

They are pipercross if I recall correctly, originally 115mm long but I cut them shorter to fit better

Alright, no oil in the coolant luckily. Will pull the head tomorrow, all is prepared now though.

Well, off it comes again. Main worry is a cracked block.

Perhaps.. Any experience with W&n head gaskets? It's the one I used

Last year I change my head with a later one since overheating the original and finding exhaust in the coolant. Bought an 85 head and spent 1000 bucks to have it completely redone. Pressure tested, milled, New valves etc. Also milled the chain cover. Started it up last year just to see that...

Unfortunately I had bad memory and the one I have is on the right hand side of the picture, with three large pipes. Not the broken one. BarnE9 still needs the part!

Cast aluminium is possible to weld and also solder, however aluminium needs to be very clean when welding. Also that pipe is som small I'd go with Ohmess option instead. Most likely it will turn out better. I have a spare you can have for the shipping cost from Sweden to UK. Let me know if you...

Stephers, I noticed that koopman had written some measurements in his pics. I think it will fit, will double check tomorrow.

Looks like the incorrect front but that can surely be fixed. Can you take some measurement so I can compare to my dash?

Do you have a 2000cs ashtray?
