R31 Running Hot

[CPR1116]

Hi Guys, My first post, I've recently purchased and stock R31 and just wondering how hot it should run. Around town it sits between right on half upto halfway between half and 3 quarters, When I go up some big hills it runs up a 3/4's. when AC is on around town it runs a little hotter. Is this normal or should it run cooler. I've replace the water pump, thermostat and thermostat housing and fixed up a couple of minor coolant leaks but this has made no difference. The radiator looks in good condition. Any ideas ??

Thanks

Trevor

the core of the radiator could be half full of crap. you could take it to a radiator place and get them to take the core apart and properly flush it out.

also make sure the radiator is getting as much airflow as possible.

or it could be that the clutch fan is dead.
