Some of you may know I have an EX60-2 with a 2.2L Kubota engine swap. The original engine was a 3.0L and the original cooling system is in use. The problem is I can't get the engine to build much heat. I ran it for 3hrs straight today in 38f weather and the thermostat housing was reading 120 and the temp needle had barely risen. Since the coolant is also my heat source for the cab I'd like to get this temp up.
I was thinking of just blocking off part of the radiator but that would also hamper the oil cooler performance. The oil was about 105f which is pretty low so maybe it wouldn't be an issue.
Our weather in SW Washington isn't all that cold but maybe some cold weather measure are necessary for a cold blooded machine?
