Re: Pee tailtell water HOT
The thermostats open at 143 degrees, so if you are getting water that much hotter w/steam, you need to take another look at them to see what temp they are actually opening, or if both are opening.
Did you get all the sand out of the engine? Could be some obstruction holding the water until it turns to steam and can pass the obstruction under pressure.
Can you feel of the heads and keep your hand on the for a few seconds? 160 degrees is not all that bad but a little high. How are you testing the engine, in water or on muffs?
