I have a Mini with a 1275 cc Metro engine.
The engine has a fast camshaft.
The temperature is to high, about 110 degrees.
It has a 2 core radiator and a selfadjusting 4 blads steel fan and a big
impellor waterpump
The engine is tuned correctly by a specialist and is also revideted.
I have made a normal bypass between cylinderhat and waterpump

Who nows something more

Have you replaced the thermostat?

Have you got any leaks?

I know that metro water pumps have no bypass outlet

Does it overheat at idle or whilst driving?

Is the ignition timing correct?/ Is the mixture correct?

What pressure radiator cap are you using (15psi?), have you tried a new one?

Answers to these questions will help us sort it out!
