Do i have a problem or am i worrying over nothing Your thoughts would be much appreciated. cheers
If there was an overheating problem it would have boiled over and performance would be affected. It was a really hot day at Classic Ford and most engines will seem hotter than normal. My Saff engine was hot but it was running ok.
When you stop how long do the fans keep running to bring the temperature down again?
