RE: [DMCForum] totally off-topic question: 2000 Chevy Cavalier



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.

how did it get to 190 degrees if it will only run for 30 seconds?  You
don't make sense.  try again.
