I hope to figure this out on Thursday when I get a chance to get some stuff done, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
About 3 months ago I started noticing the engine getting a bit warm as I ran it much over 2500 rpm. Not a big deal but something to check on when I had a moment
A short time later, I had reason to go though all 4 coolers on our Volvo tamd41, replacing the oil cooler and thoroughly cleaning the other 3.
ever since, teh heating issue has not gotten better. In fact, its gradually worsening. I replaced the impeller, checked the water intake strainer and checked the two thermostats. No love there.
I'll try and run it down more thursday by checking that the water intake through the hull is clear and trying to spot the hot spots with a temp gun.
Any other thoughts/suggestions?
thanks
toni
