Fan not turning off

Postby Chris00007 » July 10th, 2021, 1:41 pm

So I put in a thermostat in the Y12 (didn't have one) and I realise the top radiator hose getting rell hot but the bottom hose barely hot.

Also, the fans coming on at full speed after about 10 minutes of idle and it seems to not be cutting off. I waited like 10 minutes and it still on....

Thoughts?

Thermostat not opening. Either thermostat faulty or the coolant system needs to be properly bled

In my experience after changing out radiator hoses I had that experience. Usually that behaviour is observed only on startup... If you drove it for some time and it still behaved like this, then its probably what Big Z suggested.

check water pump.
let it cool, open radiator,
Start engine and rev, see if radiator is overflowing, water flow increasing.

a firend experienced what you are describing after a "mechanic" in central sourced and supplied a heand and block for a vehicle.
This was the waterpump. ended up taking back the old block after he cannibalized it, and rebuilt that.

Thanks for the reply fellas. The cooling system was water locked. Just bled it properly and now all is well
