Gone but not forgotten
waiting for some friends to show up tonight to go out to the spot and have some fun i was sitting there idling just chillen. i was waiting for a 90 ZR1, 02 Z06 with LPE Magnusson SC, H/C C5, 2 full bolt on LS1 FBodies. they all show up we roll out to get gas for a few of the guys and driving the 2 miles to the gas station i notice the water temp climbing, 235, 240, 245, 250, and i turned in shut down. thought i was just low on coolant but the car was too hot to check. let it cool down and didn't really think nothing of it. grabbed 2 bottles of water. thought the car was just holding heat due to sitting in a parking lot idling for 20 mins and being low on coolant so we pull out after i cool her down to around 200 but was still too hot to put water in it. same thing water temp climbed up. pulled into another parking lot about 3 miles down the road. 250 degrees i shut her down and left the key on and popped the hood. water temp climbed, 255, 260, 270, 280, 291 before it came down! hi temp fan kicked on but it seems the low temp fan is toast. low temp fan only comes on at 230 degrees so you hardly even use the fans cruising. i couldn't believe my eyes 291 degrees! oil was only 220. cooled her down to 180 degrees and added to 2 huge bottles of avion water to the overflow since it was bubbling over earlier. fired her up no smoke no ticking besides the normal injector noise, pulled out and my buddy with the bolt on LS1 SS followed me home. got to a light as soon as we pulled out. when it turned green i rolled on the gas pretty hard and broke the tires loose all the way thru 1st and hit second. all is good still running strong. buddy said no smoke or anything so i think i missed a bullet this time...lol oh well would of gave me a good reason to finish up the 388 project!
