Engines get HOTTER when you turn them off. The water pump is not moving the water around, and the heat from the block will soak into the coolant after it's turned off. My '58 Plymouth never overheats, but when the radiator is full, it usually starts spitting out water on the ground within 2-3 minutes of turning it off. (no catch can on this old of a car) Running an engine very lean can easily make it that hot that fast, especially because the thermostat won't even begin to open on most cars until 185, so there isn't even any convection current cooling. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: Jim Strickland [mailto:ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 1:33 PM To: DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [DMCForum] totally off-topic question: 2000 Chevy Cavalier how did it get to 190 degrees if it will only run for 30 seconds?
