Low temp readings,gauge

So when you fire it back up the thermo stat will remain close until it reaches the proper temp to open.. Is there not water in the BLOCK--After the motor has been shut off?

That is correct but is neither here nor there. HW is correct, and I suspect you still don't quite understand. Read his post again.

Lin,
The back door and front door are key terms when it comes down to cooling as well as heating.

Mr.Peter

ONE QUESTION---------------- is not the block full with water after you shut it down? Yes or No? After this I have another question.. ty

Ty------Lake skier... Now that being said,, The only circulation for the MOST part of freshwater cooling is that 95 percent is not going in to the block,, How could it? If the thermo is closed.. Correct?

So when the thermo opens hot water escapes and then fresh cooler water replaces it ,,

FULL CIRCIRCULAION is then in play-

for some reason some boys on here say I do not understand how the flow takes place...

Water is always circulated in the block (at least on a BBC), thats what the water pump on the front of the engine does, There is a bypass hose under the thermostat housing that lets the warmer water out of the block and back into the water pump. Its not 100% or maybe even 50% of full circulation, but it does prevent hot spots from forming inside the engine. The raw water pump discharge can not get into the engine, becasue the thermostat is closed, blocking flow into the block. Once the thermostat starts to open and begins to discharge the hot water from the intake into the exhaust manifolds, new colder water from the RWP is sucked into the block water pump (not the raw water pump - that has full flow going all the time, most of it bypassing the engine) and pushed into the block. Then a balancing act begins with the thermostat opening and closing to maintain whatever its setpoint is (143F or 160F), and as it modulates it allows more (or less) cold lake water into the block.

Don't have one of those, so I don't worry about it. One would assume there is some kind of minimum flow orifice that allows some minor flow of cold water thru the engine at all times.

Mr. Peter.. I you trying to Hint to me that you might be a BACK_DOOR MAN? Regarding your comment to me?

back door and front door are KEy terms? I see nothing like that in the CC, Book at all!

Hence my disclaimer (at least on a BBC) in my statement above. BBC is a big block chevy for those who don't follow all the acronyms used.

Hollywood.. While Mr. peter, seems to be the Back-Door man! Are hinting to me that you are all front DOOR?

I think I might have a GRASP on this matter though..

Hollywood. much respect for your response..You have come clean!

Now, Mr.peter just needs to come out of the closet and come clean, If he enjoys the Back door,then so be it.I am sure with 20 -50 VR1, he would be well prepared to tackle any Back-Door situation!

Not to mention is does have a nice amount Of ZDDP in as well well.

His flat tappet would do no Harm or be harmed...

Are we on Wakeworld.com?    

What the hell are either of you doing on Wakeworld?

BTW - I only got on Wakeworld once my Mom set up my account for me......

This has been more interesting than anything ive ever seen on WW. Perhaps a good 79nautique rant would be the only thing that could top this? Perhaps
