ready! it is a 4 cyl. gas rabbit engine!!! it took the
place of a diesel!!! was done by unknown shop. it was not a
bad job other than it should have never been done.
overheats at idle. need to find a high flow water pump or a
elec. water pump that can be spliced into a rad. hose. it's
fine at 1500 rpm or over. whats your thoughts? i could hook
the pump to a temp switch to only run if needed. can't find
a pump. (12volt up to 200 degrees with rad hose size
fittings). thanks guys have a good weekend!!
