Re: Engine temps again
Alan and Chris, I would take the fan off and clean the rad fins out. To be honest it's not a big job to take the rad off an clean it properly.
I did mine a few years ago and while it was off sprayed it with exhaust paint

Getting paint off metal
... getting the old paint off and prepping it? I presume that the costs will be lower if I do a lot of the work myself so I'm tempted to see if I can take the paint off and clean the tank up. Can I use something like nitromors or will that damage the metal?

Re: Daytona 600 coolant leak.
There's a bleed nipple on the water pump by your left foot, but I normally take the bottom hose off. (same side)
Make sure you close nipple up properly after you've filled it. I've forgotten to do that twice and got a very wet left foot!

Re: Daytona 600 coolant leak.

Re: Daytona 600 coolant leak.
Hi and welcome Paul, as Monty says you take off the rad cap, extract enough coolant to get the right amount of rad weld in and then top off and replace the rad cap. The tank you put it into is only an expansion tank iirc, when the coolant heats ...

Re: Weekend plans
Quite night tonight.
Tomorrow, check out the route for the cheddar ride and then try to get to Stow in time for a slice of cake.
Sunday, take the kids swimming in the morning and then take the eldest out in the afternoon to give Mrs Nutz a break (part of the deal for being out all day sat)
