I've been troubleshooting an overheating problem on my TR-3A and have read many of the threads on the subject. I've tried blocking the bypass with a copper plug as suggested by Geo and others. That has made a noticeable difference and I can run at about 185 on the highway but the temp still does start to climb in traffic. What I haven't seen in the discussions is a collaborative opinion on what might be a rough estimate of a maximum acceptable temp to preclude possible engine damage. In other words, at what temp should I find the a friendly watering hole where I can have a couple of beers while the system cools down.
I have several items on my list to try next, but I want to make sure I don't cause any harm when I get too far from the shop while I'm doing the testing.
