As your your other question, "could any serious damage have been done with the engine below operating temp at highway speeds..." The answer is probably not. You may have lost some fuel economy, but cooling an engine too much shouldn't be too much of a problem. How are cooling capacity and engine speed related? Relationships among engine speed, cooling capacity, and COP are shown in Fig, 6. Relatioships between engine speed and COP-h are shown in Fig. 7. COP denotes the ratio...

Where can I find a 1984 Chevette CS diesel? With all the San Francisco Bay Area veggie-oil-diesel freaks snapping up Peugeot 504 and Mercedes-Benz W123 diesels for conversion to never-to-be-finished french-fry-grease-burners to take to Nevada, you’d think that this Chevette would have been worth enough to evade The Crusher.
