I have replaced the radiator with an aluminum (factory direct fit), i have 2 electric fans (12 and 14 inch) and they pull a lot of air, replaced carb (quick fuel 650), intake (rpm air gap), water pump (high-volume aluminum), thermostat, pulleys (aluminum), i've even replaced the distributor, double-checked my timing, just not sure what else to do other than pull the motor! no coolant leaks! no water in the oil. This is a freshly built motor. All the parts are NEW.PLEASE help!

Depending on the year, some of the later model 350s used a reverse rotation (serpentine) water pump. What are you running the base timing at? Let us know more specifics. What year engine? What vehicle? What type ignition system, ect.

It has to turn in the direction it was engineered to or it will severely overheat.. The thing that usually determines which way it turns is whether it is driven by the front side of the belt or the back side. Pumps that are driven by the back side of the belt have reverse rotation. This is commonly found on Jeeps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
