My 242 had what seemed to be an over heating problem, I DD it on the weekends and temps hit the roof. Long story short, lower rad hose is cold after 30 mins, need water pump and thermostat! Did that, didn't help. Radiator must be clogged! Replace that, didn't help. Spal fan sucks, must replace with 940 e fan! Didn't help. The only thing left is the gauge and sender. Replaced sender, didn't help. Put Autometer temp gauge in place of factory gauge...there isn't actually a problem...gauge cluster is the problem... Dammit lol, complete new cooling system on an engine I'm not going to use very long and its the gauge cluster. Shotgunning parts FTL.
In my 740 I had to cut off the end of the waterpump shaft to make the efan fit, and even then there was a bit of self clearancing for a bit. It fixed itself in a short time haha
