I know that this basic issue has been addressed before, but if you could bare with me. I just rebuilt my TR3 engine, refurbished radiator, pertronix ignition, etc. I did all the first start-up procedures before starting it. I had to use a TR4 temp gauge with the electric sending unit. The gauge reads up to 100 on the face dial.
The engine started right up, ran good, with several minor issues. The temp guage slowly moved up to around 100 and then the thermo. opened, it moved back down to about 80 and ran at that temp for about 5 minutes. Then within 10 seconds it went from 80 up to and passed 100. I shut the engine down and that's where I'm at.
The radiator is full, I installed a pusher fan in the front and it was working fine, Would the TR4 guage and sending unit work differently?. Any suggestions????.
The engine never overheated, it seemed to run fine, The radiator cap is old, but appears to be working.
HELP,HELP
