I doubt it's oil related. Sounds more like a faulty thermostat.

Well here’s a tried n true debate that might end one day
My FC wagon had and old gauge that was hooked up when I bought her
Did engine up using Valvoline Mono to run in and she was as happy as could be temp sitting at abt 180F idiot light never ever lite up.
Change oil to Penrite Classic Light engine ticking away smoother than ever so change coolant too
Temp gauge dropped back to 160-170 F I thought great she’s running nicely which was ideal.
Took her for 400 K run and not a single problem but gauge dropped to below 150 almost to 100F
So I I checked forum and I know I should just chuck the gauge and enjoy
So it’s either the sender or the gauge
Sorry to bother anyone but felt like posting to raise this subject that brews up all the grey beards out there.

The hard part will be deciding what parts to bring back from the US in the four empty suitcases Smiley

Safe travels.

Cheers,

Bend up a length of coathanger wire into the shape (and length) that you want the top hose to be. Repeat for the lower hose too. Measure the diameter of the radiator inlet and outlet pipes, and the diameter of the pipes on the RB30.

Take the two lengths of wire and notepaper to Supercheap/Autobahn/Repco and have a forage through their hose bins. Don't forget a tapemeasure to check hose diameter. You may get lucky and find a hose that fits, but more likely will find one that needs to be cut down. Sometimes places like Repco store their hoses behind the counter - if you ask nice, they will sometimes let you forage there too.

Cheers,
Harv

It looks like if I don't post, nothing gets posted (Clay excepted) . . .

So I had an hour or so free this afternoon, marked up the floor behind the rear sat squab, cut a long transverse slot, and pushed the metal forwards (duck-bill vice grips work very well for this).  It still cleared the frame of the rear seat squab.  I call that a bonus.

I'm off to Parkes for a week.
I get back from Parkes, spend a day at home, then get on a plane to Texas to chase an eclipse.
I come back from Texas, and nine days later, I get on a plane, again, to fly to the US, again, this time for work.
Don't ask the obvious question.  I tried, and was was shut down even before the thought could be articulated.

I agree Dr Terry, I have one in really good condition and the background behind the S is black.

My memory says that the "S" section in Special had black paint fill.
