Re: winnebago chieftain 454 overheating? by Perry
Post New Message John, In dealing with all of the RAT motors that chev builds we have found that if the timing is off a littli bit it will cause an overheating problem. you didn't say what type of fan clutch you had ie viscous or air. you definitly did the right thing in replaceing the temp gauge with a stewart warner unit. all the 366,427,454 and such operate at a much higher temp than the fords or chryslers. Keep trucking, PM
