Anyone got any ideas?? I have been concerned with the Falcon running to warm. It is getting up to 230 degrees and I can't find a reason why. I changed thermostats from 180 to 195 to slow the flow down and no change.
I found on the internet that if I had the head gaskets on backwards that would cause what I am seeing. I checked a new set of gaskets and the tab that goes to the front with the large water hole going to the back is what I have installed.
I now pulled the water pump off to check it. MY car is supposed to have a reverse rotation pump since I am using a serpentine pulley. In looking at the pump it looks like it would be rotating the blades the wrong direction, but I'm not sure. See Pic. The direction the blades will turn when looking at the pump from the back are clockwise. When you see the pump from the front side it is the opposite.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Larry
