August 18, 201113 yr comment_364289 Temp looks OK.Good you have it sorted. What I meant was to LOOSEN the clamps on the engine side hose, and with the engine running, move the hose around on its pipe stub, so that you burp out the air and some water, then tighten the clamps with the engine still running, and a water hose from your garden tap trickling into the radiator. Worked for me twice.

August 18, 201113 yr comment_364293 My temp has never gotten to the halfway point on the gauge. The only time it's gotten close was when I was running app. 90mph for about 2 miles. The outside temp was app 92.I have replaced the water pump,radiator, so that could be why my Z runs a little cooler. I think you are running a little warm.
