As we near firing up this engine for the first time, I’ve been thinking about what fluids I should be using.
Keep in mind, EVERYTHING is bone dry. New cold case aluminum radiator, motor rebuilt top to bottom, and transmission rebuilt with a new TF2 shift kit. Pretty excited about it all!
I live in the warm coastal area of California (technically So-Cal but not often included in its definition.) What I’m trying to say, is we don’t get brutal winters or harsh weather, other than sometimes soaring temperatures in the summer. Here in Santa Maria it rarely gets above 95.
Not sure if that has any impact on what coolant to use, and motor oil viscosity.
Also thinking about what coolant to run. Since I converted my belt setup for non-ac, I’m running an 8 blade pump with a Milodon 180° thermostat. The thermostat I found in the housing was a Stant 180° so I wanted to replace it with the same temp.
What fluid for disc brakes?
Power steering?
Thanks for any and all help!
