    Takeing bets

    Story goes, Supercharged 3.9, 200+ kays, 5 psi boost, LPG new, cooling system is excellent, 4 core rad, EL fans genuine ford not crap,

    Had a tick for a while now like leaky manifold/sticky lifter, *cough* liner *cough*

    Under boost and load, temp rises FAAAAAAAAST, pushes a bit of water out and we're cooking, not rapidly but quick, every 80ish kay's we're reaching 100c and stopping cooling and topping water, only taking 3-4l's

    I'll be lifting the heads, tomorrow and I don't WANT/NEED an answer, just thought everyone would like a quiz and see if they can pick the fault from the symptoms, ask more questions and share you opinion

    Bugger how do I add a pole now?

    Sounds like my P38A when it had the slipped liner - right down to the light tick.

    no, its got to be the auto....

    the cooler for the auto is causing too much heat flow in front of the radiator and this is causing the over heating, the ticking is just the beat cancel on the radio.

    If its not fitted with an auto then its the ambient rise in temperature caused by following a vehicle with an auto.

    in all seriousness, assuming that the tappets rule themselves out as the cause to the tick then my moneys on a liner slipping and assuming that the cooling system is actually A1 and the tappets are noisey then its a liner gone porous.

    but either way its block work
