How does reverse coolant flow work on a corvette?
In addition to reverse coolant flow, there are several other improvements in the LT1 cooling system over conventional engines. The LT1 has absolutely NO water running through the intake manifold! Conventional cooling systems have passages in the intake manifold which allow coolant to crossover from one side of the engine to the other.
What’s the normal temp for a corvette cooling fan?
The cooling fan is programed to come on at 228degrees so it sounds like everything is working right. 32 people found this helpful. Thank you for your reply its much appreciated.
Where does the coolant go in a Corvette LT1?
The LT1 has absolutely NO water running through the intake manifold! Conventional cooling systems have passages in the intake manifold which allow coolant to crossover from one side of the engine to the other. In the LT1, coolant crossover occurs in the water pump, which is also where the thermostat is located.
What to do when your corvette runs hot?
On the L98 few recommend to max-lift the front of the car. The majorities do this, fill the system, start the engine and when the thermostat opens and the level in the radiator drops, keep filling the radiator and then raise the engine RPMs to around 2,500 RPMs and add more coolant. Then replace the pressure cap before releasing the throttle!
What should the temperature be for a corvette cooling fan?
The fan would run almost constantly as the thermostat regulates the temperature at 195 degrees. For lower operating temperatures, our 243139 Hyper-Tech Power Stat coupled with our 244381 cooling fan switch (that activates the fan at 185 degrees) would provide the correct hysteresis. Have a Corvette that sees track time on a regular basis?

What kind of cooling system did corvettes have?
GM had a B4P cooling system option available for 1985-1989 Corvettes. This option consisted of an extra cooling fan in front of the a/c condenser, heavy duty radiator and oil cooler.
