Ok I just got my 404 stroker in the car I have about 2k miles on tge new motor. I have a 160 stat but im hitting 210 temps. When I had the motor out I didnt clean the radiator. But did drain it. I was thinking because I live in texas and summer is right around the corner. Can I flush the system and just do distilled water and an additive like wetter or purple ice?

Also is there a different fan setup we can do?

maybe you have an air pocket?
Are your fans working?

Fans are working fine.
And air pocket idk. When the car was running I opened the steampipe open till coolant came out.

Take te cap off when the car is cold. Let the car idle till it gets to temp, or thermostat opens, watch the fluid cycle through. It may be low on fluid.
If it doesn't cycle, thermostat may be stuck.

Also, when it was tuned, were the fans adjusted in the tune?

When are your fans set to come on? Does it run at 210 during a steady cruise or just when running parked?
