Hey guys, hoping someone can shed some light on what's going on.....
I recently installed a set of headers and did a power steering conversion at the same time. Added new head bolts with some threat sealer to stop leaks.
Ever since the install, my ammeter is boucing around when I'm driving and the temp gauge quickly hits 230-240 when in gear. If i put it in neutral, it comes back down to 170'sh. Never had a heating issue before. Gauge on the rad shows 180. Wondering if the fluid is not properly makes its way around the heads or if this is all connected somehow electrically?? Why does it keep temp in park/neutral, but jump as soon as it's in gear?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
btw... 906 heads, 440, auto, aluminum rad, tti hedders.
