Double-check the timing -- if it was too advanced after your tune-up, that could be why you're running hot. Might as well re-check the valves, just to be sure. I quite stupidly once managed to overfill the engine oil. This can lead to overheating -- apparently the crankshaft whips the oil into a froth, or something of the sort. If you've changed/added oil recently, you might want to do a quick dipstick test. You should be able to remove the lower right piece of cooling tin and access the thermostat. Depending on what kind of muffler you've got on, you can probably just look at it without removing tin if you get yourself in the right position below the car. When hot, the top of the thermostat should be touching the top of its bracket. Good luck, -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
