Subject: Re: Advice when buying an LG45 S1
Keith,
I am delighted for you. Good that you are taking it easy for the first few hundred miles - a sensible plan. Keep an eye on the engine temperatures. Remember that the mechanically driven water pump is pretty inefficient unless upgraded, and that it’s output varies with engine speed. So, when running gently at low revs the pump isn’t circulating a great deal of water. You might expect a fair amount of crud to be dislodged and this can block the cores. My advice would be to fit an inline filter into the top hose to the radiator.
Best of luck and please keep the group informed.
