[DeTomaso] 160 degree thermostat vs 180 degree thermostat

Rob Pulsifer rockspictures at yahoo.com
Mon May 18 20:27:43 EDT 2015


I am currently running a 160 degree thermostat, the engine will hold that temperature while on the hwy.  I drove over 50 miles, when I stopped I found that I had left the cap of the swirl tank.  The engine didn't over heat, only loss 2 cups of water.  The car came stock with a 160 degree thermostat.  I now understand that the 180 degree thermostat is better.  Outside of the temperature will be more constant, I really don't see the advantage of a 180 degree thermostat.

 Many Alden shocks leak from the simple o-ring that seals-
 sort of- the external damping adjustment near the bottom,
 not at the shock rod (which is much more serious). Hall used
 to repair them when they sold the things. Who did you buy it
 from?

 Folks,Noticed oil leaking from front Alden coil overaluminum
 shock.   Purchased
 3/2005.   Although likely only 2000 miles on
 carsince then, they leak!!!   Anyone know of
 a rebuild kit or if rebuilding  ashock by yourself is
 doable?   Alden isin CA, and it would cost
 more to shipand pay rebuild charge than buy a new Shock
 likely!!!Also any hints in frontshock
 removal?Thanks!!!!

 Folks,
 Last time I changed ZF oil I used Mobil 1
 75-90.   Synthetic.    Should I
 still use that or better to go with conventional
 oil?   recommendations?  thanks

 RedLine 75-90 NS (synthetic)
 
 I get mine on Amazon, usually with free shipping
  
 Here's Les Gray's email from a while ago:
  
 
 
  
  
 The Red Line oil NSdesignation means that in this particular
 oil there is NO 
 additive added to reduce the clutch chatter in most limited
 slip differentials.
 Normally this additive is a good thing and almost mandatory
 in cars like the 
 Corvette which has a fairly high degree of limited slip lock
 up. 
      Our cars have a two issues with
 these extra slipperyadditives. Number 
 one is our diff uses a rather low limited slip lock up so
 this extra slip 
 actually decreases what little lock up we have. Number two
 is this additivewill 
 inhibit our synchro rings ability to do its job and in
 extreme cases will burn 
 up the synchro rings and the towers on the gears costing big
 bucks. 
     I've rebuilt ZF's since the late 1970's and
 have replaceddozens of synchro 
 rings & gear sets due to the use of these additives. 
   As Jack DeRyke says "your mileage may vary" !!!!

 "75-90 conventional don't recommend synth in the ZF".
 
 
 Sorry Ed, but I think that's nonsense.
  
 IF you do use dinosaur oil, it should probably be GL-4 (NOT
 GL-4 -GL-5) and not have any limited slip additive. 
 GL-5 oil has sulfur additives that harm yellow metals like
 brass, which trannies / synchro rings have.

 Castrol non synthetic 80W90 Hypoy Gear Oil is rated API GL-5
 LS which has friction modifying additives and supposed to be
 recommended by RBT.
 
 Although, I understand it depends whether you have brass or
 cast iron synchros. If you have the brass synchos then I
 think you have to use the Redline 75/90 NS?

    Castrol non synthetic 80W90 Hypoy Gear Oil
 is rated API GL-5 LS which
    has friction modifying additives and
 supposed to be recommended by RBT.
 
    Although, I understand it depends whether
 you have brass or cast
    iron synchros. If you have the brass
 synchos then I think you have to
    use the Redline 75/90 NS?

    Sorry Ed, but I think that's nonsense.
 
    IF you do use dinosaur oil, it should
 probably be GL-4 (NOT GL-4 -GL-5)
    and not have any limited slip
 additive.  GL-5 oil has sulfur additives
    that harm yellow metals like brass, which
 trannies / synchro
    rings have.

 Yes, they rebuilt all 4 of my shocks for free, plus replaced
 the bent shafts inside of each shocks. The car sat for 20
 plus years and was never driven so at some point the shocks
 seized up. So when I started driving it, all the shafts bent
 because there was no damping action. Drove it for 3000 miles
 that way. I thought it handled funny. hahaha

 Guys,
 
 A couple of pics from the track yesterday. Probably more
 than 30 Panteras present, most of which were on the track.
 Tom Upton's monster hauler served as the base of

 Kirby Schrader dropped a tiny bolt from his webers into an
 impossible cavity in the engine and spent more than an hour
 trying to get it out. He was not having fun here:

 He got it eventually! Cars back on track today but many of
 us are going to the Gullo museum instead. 
 
 Where are YOUR photos?
