I just had my engine serviced. 2 termostats & waterpump were replaced.Now I have a cooling problem. Anytime I run over 3000 rpms for 5 minutes I get the temp. alarm and the engine automactically reduces the rpms. One thing I don't understand is why the water pressure runs up to 22lbs as I advance the throttle and drops suddenly as I pass thru 3000rpm.The engine has only 380 hrs logged.Need some hints.

Clarifing my original thread.When the water pressure dropped it dropped from 22lbs to 17lbs .I was just wondering is this is significant.

Not sure at what pressure the PRV opens but maybe that is what you are seeing
