In the last two years I have replaced my old water pump with a new one from Moyer, rebuilt my entire hot section, replaced the exhaust manifold, replaced all the hose lines, and given her a muriatic acid bath. I had put a bypass valve on her years ago.
However, she still runs hot: 180 up to 195 as best I can tell on my temp gauge. Considering that most people report having trouble getting theirs to warm up, I wonder why I'm so "lucky." She also puts out a bit of steam in the exhaust, even on a hot summer day. My plugs always look good though, so I don't think I'm getting water in my cylinders from a leak.
She also throttles right up, so I don't think I'm suffering from an exhaust blockage, either.
Considering everything I've done to this point, what should I investigate next?
