Delete Fan Hub And Install Thermos (water Pump Pulley, Need Brace?)

[discopotato03]

I'd be interested to know if the idling overheating happened over time or after changing some particular cooling system component .

I don't think I could have resisted actually removing that water pump to eyeball it and the section of block behind it .

Don't suppose it could be an N1 pump by any chance ? Can you tell from the outside ?

Um , it does have standard pulleys ie not under driven ones ?

Just a thought cheers A .

Sort of just happened over time I think.

Stock pump, not N1. All standard pulleys.

I have since flushed everything, put in new coolant, sealed the radiator right around tight, and installed a thermo. Seems to idle nicely at 82 degrees (I have the thermo coming on at 50% at 84 degrees.)

Hoping this has it all fixed

I have no idea why, but if my oil temp was up around 90 degrees, when my car was idling it would just idle into oblivious. seen it get to 112 degrees once when I wasn't looking.

As soon a sI put the craig davies fan on with more airflow, it stayed at 86 degrees.

i put my money on it having a N1 water pump.

I posted pics on the previous page. It's a stock pump I'm pretty sure
