So a continuation of my problems from 1/17 post. I thought I solved the overheating issue with the 160 degree thermostat but only on normal street driving. At time trials yesterday after 3-1/2 laps it overheated again and I believe I burned up some connecting rod bearings based on the noise coming from the bottom of the motor.
I've checked and or fixed all the suggestions from the 2017 post so I am at a loss as to what it could be.
The two thoughts I have is not enough air is getting through the radiator because of the transmission cooler in front or the duel fan set up I have has to go and side by side fans installed. Any Help would be appreciated.
FYI: I was running the car between 3500 and 4500 RPM in second gear on the three speed automatic transmission for maximum torque through the turns. It should take it in my mind without overheating but does someone know differently?
