Phil.

Ok thanks for the tips on the speedometer. I’ll check the nut on it.

My steam relief tube does not have any shut off. It’s always open.

Bruce,
Yes this was while it was under load. If it idles for about 10min the temp comes down to around 180. Then after about 10 min of driving it’s climbed back up to over 210. There is a chance it may have an air bubble in the system. Part of me wonders if the water pump is spinning too fast at the higher end and there is some cavitation going on or I’ve got a blockage somewhere. All things to investigate.

I do not yet have the radiator overflow can hooked up.
