Well I think I have
solved the
overheating problem with my Phosaor
engine ..... maybe even over
solved it! I installed a small second
heat exchanger in line with the original
heat exchanger. I can now run the
engine at full throttle and and the engine will heat up only to about 155 or 160 degrees F. The Phasor came with a 150 degree F (don't know if they did that because the knew the engine was going to overheat or not). I have heard that a small
diesel engine is most efficient when operated at about 190 degrees F (don't know exactly where I heard that). If in fact that is true, wouldn't I be better off to replace the 150 degree F with a 180(?) degree F thermostat?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
