Title: Sports exhaust on my 600cc causing engine to get too hot?
Post by: Chris Lakin on September 21, 2006, 04:24:50 PM

Im worrie dmy engine might be over heating, i have just fitted a sports exhaust to my 600cc engine, and the engine feel incredibly hot. Am i just worrying again! or could the exhaust be causing the extra heat? It is quite warm where i am today.

Alot of smoke was coming out of the engine, but i think this was just the wd40 i used to loosen the bolts.

please put my mind at ease  :lol:

regards

Chris

p.s the car looks and sounds great with the sports exhaust!  :lol:  :lol:

yer youre right dave, i'm an auto-chondriac,   :lol:

thats what my brother tells me anyway, i think it stems from a few years ago, when i didnt bleed up the water system in the bis, which caused the head gasket to go again only 2 days after replacing  it,  :lol:

thanks mate
