| RE: Hard starting |

| I take it you mean it won't turn over when hot, not that it cranks and won't catch. Mine can turn over pretty slowly when hot, although starter and cables are nothing special, but it always catches and starts. I think one answer might be to install an electric fan on the rad. Once the engine is shut off, the water temp goes up pretty quickly as heat from the engine continues into the water. A temp switch (install one in the lower rad hose) should then come on and start the fan for about 5 minutes or more. By the time you come back to the car, it should start. I thought mine might be because the pistons had expanded when hot, but later during a rebuild, there were no marks on the pistons or cylinders due to scoring. A different oil pan...an aluminum one with fins for example might also help. |
