Hello,
Recently I put in a request for info on an oil pressure light problem.
Listees suggested looking at type of oil, filter, the pressrue switches, and
the cooling system.  Since my 88 water cooled runs a weee bit toasty I thought
I would start there.  I already knew the resistor for the first stage was
blown soooo.
My question is, people, past folks in the archives, have talked about changing
to an 80 degree thermostat to activate the fan.  I would like to do this but
where.  I have a bentley and I see the thermo switches for the fan but don't
know where they are located or if they are what I'm looking for.  I thought
there was/is a thermostat on the radiator somewhere, bentley makes it look
like one is near the bleeder screw.
I seem to be all confused between radiator thermoswitches, new thermostat, and
temperature sensor,
can anyone clearify these for me.
Then benltley gets into all the relays and such, and man, do i get all
twisted.
any info on the operating sequence of this cooling sytem would be appreciated
or...........I'm going to have to $$$ for something that is probably a simple
fix.
Hey I know how to bleed the system though.....that's last again!!
thanks
