how hot is too hot??
Im finally finished with my engine swap putting the 3.3L into my 86 Vanagon - before yall hate the donor car was mostly junked -
im fine tuning the coolant system and its quite a doozey. the vanagon system is a sealed system - no radiator cap - and i think i might have a bad thermostat. if i have a bad thermostat i dont want to replace it until im absolutly positive its the problem im curious as to normal operating block temperatures for the svx. im planning on getting a laser thermometer to make sure i dont overheat the block while i test the system. so far its been getting what seems very hot very fast - my fears are that ive got an air bubble somewhere in the motor... |

I believe on the 3.0 H6 and maybe the 3.3 also there is a trick about raising the front of the car and running the motor to free a trapped air bubble when replacing the coolant.
Perhaps ask YT or OT. |
